Book Synopsis Radical Peace by : William T. Hathaway
Download or read book Radical Peace written by William T. Hathaway and published by Trine Day. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This symphony of voices—a loosely united network of war resisters, deserters, and peace activists in Afghanistan, Europe, Iraq, and North America—vividly recounts the actions they have personally taken to end war and create a peaceful society. Frustrated, angered, and even saddened by the juggernaut of aggression that creates more counter-violence at every turn, this assortment of contributors has moved beyond demonstrations and petitions into direct, often radical actions in defiance of the government's laws to impede its capacity to wage war. Among the stories cited are those of a European peace group that assisted a soldier in escaping from military detention and then deserting; a U.S.-educated Iraqi who now works in Iran developing cheaper and smaller heat-seeking missiles to shoot down U.S. aircraft after U.S. soldiers brutalized his family; a granny for peace who found young allies in her struggle against military recruiting; a seminary student who, having been roughed up by U.S. military at a peace demonstration, became a military chaplain and subverts from within; and a man who expresses his resistance through the destruction of government property—most often by burning military vehicles.
Book Synopsis Radical Pacifism by : Scott H Bennett
Download or read book Radical Pacifism written by Scott H Bennett and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This deeply researched book is the first history of the War Resisters League, an organization that represents the major vehicle of secular radical pacifism in the United States. Besides opposing all U. S. wars and championing conscientious objection to these wars, Scott H. Bennett shows how the WRL—led by its colorful members—functioned as a “movement halfway house,” assisting and influencing a variety of social reform groups and campaigns. He devotes special attention to WWII conscientious objectors (COs) who staged dramatic wartime work and hunger strikes in Civilian Public Service camps and prisons against Jim Crow, censorship, conscription, and other policies. These radical COs moved the postwar WRL in new directions—and transformed radical pacifism. By recovering the important links between the WRL and the peace, civil rights, civil liberties, and antinuclear movements, Bennett demonstrates the social relevance and political effectiveness of radical pacifism. He emphasizes the WRL’s most important legacy: its promotion, legitimization, and Americanization of Gandhian nonviolent direct action, which infused the postwar peace and justice movements.

Book Synopsis Living a Radical Peace by : Claire Krulikowski
Download or read book Living a Radical Peace written by Claire Krulikowski and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2006-07-01 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living a Radical Peace: Creating Life Anew demonstrates that peace is not passive, but, rather, a potent energy assembled in a certain format. Providing readers with five reasons people have come to fear peace, author Claire Krulikowski then questions the foundations of our beliefs and the illusions we create when we accept the standards of common authorities. It is, she states, when we each commit our Allegiance to a Higher Authority that we engage the full power of our souls call. Krulikowski weaves the depth of meaning and potential of radical peace into the consciousness of readers. Using personal parables, illustrations from texts, and also using Jesus as exemplary of one who defied the status quo and was not passive, Living a Radical Peace proposes, Jesus wasnt kidding, that we are encoded as spirit before matter and capable of shaping physical substance and experience to create life anew.
Book Synopsis Radicalizing Peace by : Mark Traylor
Download or read book Radicalizing Peace written by Mark Traylor and published by Elevate Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The news and media are full of discussions about religious radicals. Their extreme actions dominate our headlines and political conversations because their behavior is so far from society's comfort zone. Much of this kind of behavior that we see is negative and destructive, but maybe there's something we can do about it. Perhaps it's time to think about a different kind of religious radicalism. Can we commit ourselves to a radically different spirituality? One that will likely get far less attention from the media, but do far more to change the world? Perhaps, by following the radically counterintuitive teaching of Jesus to love our enemies, we can become a new kind of extremist with positive and constructive effects. Maybe the most radical thing we can ever do is to truly follow the Prince of Peace.

Download or read book God or Nations written by William Durland and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difficulty in realizing that a truth beyond culture exists is perhaps the greatest single barrier to the life of love. Our culture is permeated by violence, militarism, materialism, patriotism to nation right or wrong, the supremancy of force, racism, sexism. Most people, seeking approval of their peers, never see how destructive these false values are. Here you are challenged to be dissatisfied with this cultural reality; to resist custom, habit, tradition, mores, social environment, even heredity; to act on your own conscience, to reform reality, to return good for evil, to love your enemy, to serve the oppressed.

Book Synopsis Just Peace Theory Book One by : Valerie Elverton Dixon
Download or read book Just Peace Theory Book One written by Valerie Elverton Dixon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these essays I often refer to social contracts such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and other international conventions that describe a vision of just human relations, especially in the area of culture and health care. We do not live behind a veil of ignorance where we enter into contemplation of questions of right and wrong without an awareness of our own particularities. Moreover, we do not always determine what is right based on reason. But, we do make decisions every day about how we will live within the social contracts that govern our lives. Many of us go along to get along with a lets-not-rock-the-boat-preserve-the-status-quocaution. Then there are those of us who use the documents of our social contracts to secure more justice and more peace. The purpose is to rock the boat and to disrupt the status quo when it is unjust. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I understand Christ as a title not as a person. It is a designation of an anointing. This, in my opinion, is the anointing of radical love. Christ is the human incarnation of divine love. We each ought to strive to become this whether or not we are Christian, whether or not we are even believers. Those of us who are Christians believe that Jesus paid it all. There is no more need for blood-shed sacrifice. Murder is never holy. God does not need it or want it. Our work now is to become living sacrifices that will redeem this world through justice and peace. That is the meaning of these essays. (From the Introduction)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Their compelling examples of female militancy and leadership challenge the essentialist association of female pacifism with motherhood and expand the definition of political action to include women's political work in both the public and private spheres. Focusing on the vexed alliance between white peace activists and black civil rights workers, Mollin similarly details the difficulties that arose at the points where their movements overlapped and challenges the seemingly natural association between peace and civil rights."

Download or read book Radical Prayers written by John Dear and published by Pace E Bene Press. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers fifty short prayers to encourage, challenge and inspire you on your nonviolent journey. Prayers cover subjects ranging from healing the environment, ending war, gun violence, poverty and racism, gratitude for the blessings around us and strength to continue on the path for peace, justice and nonviolence. John Dear writes in the introduction, "Prayer and nonviolence go hand in hand. On the one hand, prayer is a daily journey toward ever-deepening intimacy with the God of peace in the Holy Spirit of peace. Through daily quiet meditation, the God of peace we encounter in our prayer disarms us, heals us and strengthens us to go forth and make peace, practice nonviolence and love others.... Nonviolent people turn to God in prayer throughout the day for protection, security, blessings and fecundity. That is the Christian way, the human ideal. That is the path of the peacemaker. ...daily meditation is politically dangerous and a threat to the culture of violence and war. As we combine prayer and nonviolence, in this culture of violence and war, we step into a new kind of dangerous mysticism where we lose our allegiance to the nation/state, and become full time citizens of God's reign..."
