WASHINGTON—An essay by a Goshen, Ind., high-school senior calling for a consistent pro-life position took top honors in the Mennonite Central Committee U.S. Washington Office Public Policy Essay and Speech Contest.
A first-place prize of $500 went to Kelly Shenk, a senior at Bethany Christian School, for her essay on “A Pro-Life Philosophy.”
Honorable mentions were awarded to Erin Brandeberry of Goshen, also a senior at Bethany, and Beth Kaufman, a senior at Freeman (S.D.) Academy. Each will receive $50.
Brandeberry’s topic was “Energy: The Big Switch,” on the importance of developing alternative energy sources. Kaufman wrote on “Justice for All,” discussing alternative ways to deal with domestic and international criminal behavior.—Mennonite Central Committee
