| A Nation of Pharisees | An article by John Dear, a Jesuit Priest. A challenging and provocative antiwar statement.
|
| 9/11 and the Sport of God | A recent (9/9/05) speech by Bill Moyer, the respected journalist. It is a very deeply disturbing analysis of the religious right's interpretation of the events of 9/11 nad Hurricane Katrina. Quite lengthy, but highly recommended. |
| A Just War? |
An exchange of letters in an Indiana paper on the subject of the "just war". Short but pithy. |
| FAITHFUL AMERICA |
Faithful America is " an online community for people of faith who want to build a more just and compassionate nation.
It is a new voice that rejects both the fundamentalism of the right and the secularism of the left. It is a community for people whose faith inspires them to alleviate human suffering rather than to cast the first stone." Sounds like something that Mennonites might want to investigate.

| CHRISTIAN PEACEMAKER TEAMS (CPT) |
What would happen if Christians devoted the same discipline and self-sacrifice to nonviolent peacemaking that armies devote to war? The CPT, a joint venture since 1984 by the Mennonite, Brethern, and Quaker churches, sends teams to trouble spots around the world, to "get in the way". |
