American Buddhism: Beyond the Search for Inner Peace

By Joshua Eaton

…izens. Finally, I’m curious: you’ve talked in interviews about your online news reading. What news sources do you regularly read? I normally look at several alternative news sources and commentaries. I follow Democracy Now! almost daily—though I don’t watch all segments every day. I also read Common Dreams, Truthout, AlterNet, TomDispatch, and Climate Progress. The commentators that I most appreciate are Amy Goodman, Glenn Greenwald on justice is…

War Criminal Henry Kissinger, First Jewish Secretary of State, Had a Lengthy History of Antisemitism

By Noah Berlatsky

…s to other people he despised. Kissinger had sabotaged 1968 peace talks in Vietnam in an effort to help Nixon win that year’s presidential election, ensuring the war would grind on, leading to tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands of more Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian deaths. Of course, Kissinger refused to take any responsibility for this, and instead blamed the people whose country he had personally worked to shatter. In 1973 he told Brent…

Must We Burn Something to Get Attention?: 50 Years After the Catonsville Nine

By Jason C. Bivins

…d we think about Catonsville, given that we have added to this legacy much new brokenness of our own? I think of the lonely vigil the Berrigans performed out of the spotlight throughout the 1970s. Dan ringing the bells for the Christ of peace on the cathedral steps in Manhattan. Phil driving to the Pentagon from Jonah House in Baltimore, ready to spill some blood on the Pentagon steps, telling the guards and anyone watching that it was Christ’s bl…

Is The Religious Left Emerging as a Political Force? No.

By Daniel Schultz

…ders and their followers played key roles in campaigns to abolish slavery, promote civil rights and end the Vietnam War, among others. The latest upwelling of left-leaning religious activism has accompanied the dawn of the Trump presidency. Some in the religious left are inspired by Pope Francis, the Roman Catholic leader who has been an outspoken critic of anti-immigrant policies and a champion of helping the needy. The abolitionists weren’t real…

How a Group of Catholic Pacifists Took on the Nuclear State

By Eric C. Miller

…ved by Philip Berrigan and others as a way to continue the momentum of the Vietnam-era Catholic Left, but in a way that would be more truly faithful, riskier, and hence more efficacious. Actions are still taking place today, though far less frequently than in earlier decades. Plowshares activists in the United States have never been acquitted of the charges brought against them, which include conspiracy, sabotage, and destruction of government pro…

When Welcoming the Stranger Was Not Just a Religious Value

By Melissa Borja

…1975 and 2000, the United States resettled over one million refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, in a public-private endeavor funded in part by government but powered largely by private resources and the contributions of everyday Americans. Religious voluntary agencies—the organizations that have official contracts with the State Department to provide initial resettlement services—proved indispensable in this effort, and by 1981, Christian…

Mister Rogers’ Radical Pacifist Neighborhood

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…e. And while I don’t agree with him entirely—marchers did a lot to end the Vietnam War—he is right to suggest that peace has its roots in the quiet compassion of the human heart. Compassion is the adjective Rogers used when asked how he wanted to be remembered, and it is the practice that he tried to instill in his viewers so that they would become peacemakers. So rather than donning cut-off jeans and angrily pumping a peace sign while marching in…

Confessions of a Hater

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…his final project. (A teaching success story, if ever there was one!) The Vietnam vet would also surprise me as the semester unfolded. I expected nothing but trouble from him, but my worries abated a bit after I witnessed a conversation he had with a black woman in the class. He told her he had gone to a black Baptist church once because the Ku Klux Klan taught that blacks had no souls. He wanted to see for himself. “The hairs stood up on my arms…
