SIGN UP FOR PEACE IN YOUR LIFETIME: HERE'S HOW!

Soon, a very famous Peace Activist will be coming to Atlanta. Pax Christi, St. Jude will be hosting Fr. John Dear, author of countless books, musician, breaker of laws meant to be broken(see also: apartheid, laws which restrict civil rights for all, etc.), Roman Catholic priest.
Fr. John Dear's most recent, eloquent treatise on peace, is called "A Persistent Peace", and I am now re-reading this marvelous book, with its' part-memoir/part-call-to-peace tone.
Fr. Dear makes you believe in your own power. Want to know more? Sign up for the Friday March 5th(evening only, 7:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M.), and
Saturday March 6th(9:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M., includes light breakfast and full lunch), "Retreat" which will be held here in Atlanta.
Go to:

Whether you are Roman Catholic, garden-variety Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, Muslim, Roscrucian, Agnostic, even A-Theist or Non-Theist, come hear this articulate, brave man who has kept his humility--speak.
Peace, kids.

Lisa, I thought I'd better pass on the bad news. Brother Tim is gone.

We've lost as good a man this world can produce.

Dave Dubya--Thank you for updating me. I saw an e-mail just now from Betmo, which says his Obituary is detailed at his blog.
I'll be doing a page here, for him, soon.
God Bless You, man. And God Bless Brother Tim: a true force for good. For inclusion, peace, and love.

Dear Lisa,

how are you doing?
I liked your words on Brother Tim's blog. So sad that he's gone!

Since you are talking about peace, do you know "The green fields of france"? It's the second video on this post:

See you around, love and happy valentine's day!

You have a wide-open heart, Lissa. Thanks for this link. I'm sorry about Brother Tim.

Christine--Thank you.
I'm posting today about a fellow-blogger I never got to meet in-person, Brother Tim, and about my long-lost teacher(still teaching, now living in L.A.) from college, too.
