Peace Pastor Defies Military Funerals Belief
Rev. Jack R. Farrell of the Church of the Brethren in Syracuse Indiana faced community pressure after initially agreeing to officiate at a Korean War veteran’s funeral. He observed flag display, rifle salute, and a 21 gun salute and, guided by pacifist beliefs, ultimately announced opposition to military rites at funerals. The 42 year old veteran pastor cited his church’s peace stance and said he must uphold gospel principles over ceremonial military symbolism.
