Leah, How articulate you are, and how informative and inspirational this hour with you on Spirit in Action has been. I knew a lot about FNVW and now I know more, and good to learn more about your life and involvement. I'm sure you'll be just as productive in your new position, PLUS you'll have more time with your kids!

I first heard Andy and Terry Murray as an adolescent at ANE District event. I took my children to his 300th CoB anniversary concert. My family has enjoyed his music I have shared his music with many people. I wish I could get more of his music on CDs.
from david eberhardt- Kudos to Helpsmeet as usual- wonderful interviewer- Phil B was a mentor of mine as we poured blood on draft files in 1967 (Baltimore 4); I have been interviewed by Mark. The book discussed- Ministry of Risk is a hard sell- for Phil's analysis of our society and most of us in it is excoriating- stern, commanding as to what we should be doing. It's not a "fun" read. I was a cell mate of his in federal prison and he simply changed my life- which led to 33 years helping inmates at the Baltimore City Jail. Phil explores the relation between risk and prison activism and building of a peace movement. I feel you must resist according to your talents- and that prison is not everyone's talent, as it was mine.
Voluntary poverty? living in community? Not for me. As a poet I love the drama, the adventure and the humor in our acts against war. Surely we should serve the poor and downpressed BUT...you can have fun too- and what do we do for action in this place? Also for me key? PASSION. As the poet Blake wrote: "Bring me my bow of burning gold- bring me my arrows of desire!!"
You can google david eberhardt blood pouring where I describe our pouring blood on draft records. I peddle my book about the draft and Plowshares actions- For All the Saints- a Protest Primer. my email is 1941mireille@gmail.com.

THE ENEMY IS CAPITALISM AND IMPERIALISM.- also our failed male gender we make good sperm donors and firemen
from dave eberhardt: Just heard this (10/16/24)- am 83- am impressed- especially by Interviewer! Update? take Israel Hamas- and if I were there and couldn't leave- would be in shot or in prison- where is the left or peace movement in the area? Our fight is with capitalism-imperialism- who makes the bombs, the rifles? Could the U N be strong enough to pen off combatants and separate them from civilians? Let them have at it and destroy each other. Election approaches w trump trumpetting. Remember J Edgar Hoover? Plowshares continues with 2 imprisoned in Germany.. 2 great new books- A Ministry of Risk (writings of Phil Berrigan) and Spiritual Criminals (on the Camden 28).

Thanks so much, Mark, for doing this interview and helping get my music out into the world. Last night I got to witness and photograph the aurora along with much of the country.
Mark, thank you deeply for doing the three tributes to TPR. He was a dear friend to me, as are many of the folks you interviewed as part of the series. These were beautifully done and truly captured the essence of Tom’s impact on others - and the world. I so appreciate your recognition of this goodness and your effort to share it with others. It is a gift.
Mark, I just finished listening to third part of the Tribute to Tom. I found it not only moving, but I heard stories and songs of his I did not know. Thanks so much for doing these interviews.
