Can We Finally Learn from History?5/20/2008  by Max Ediger 
Many of our history books tell us of a pair of attacks in 1964 carried out by naval forces of North Vietnam against two American destroyers, the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy. We learn from our history books that these attacks took place in the Gulf of Tonkin along the coast of Viet Nam and that they were the justification for increased U.S. military action in Southeast Asia. In fact, the outcome of the incident was the passage by Congress of the Southeast Asia Resolution, or the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which served as President Johnson's legal justification for escalating American involvement in Viet Nam.

Book Review--Plant a Seed of Peace5/20/2008  by Susan Huyard 
Plant a Seed of Peace uses the analogy of growing seeds into plants as a way of describing how our part in peace can start little like a seed and produce much. It has 43 easy-to-read stories of peacemakers who have made choices in their lives that have grown and spread in an infectious way. They are a testimony of many lives that have made a difference by putting their faith into action. It ends by inviting the reader to plant a seed and imagine the possibilities of growth into a garden of peace.

Someone loves you5/20/2008  by Susan Mark Landis 
As I languidly lay in my own bed at home after days on the road and closed my eyes, daring traffic patterns and huge plates of rice, bazaar shops and ancient mosques danced past. When I unpacked my suitcases, the smells of Iran wafted through the room--the dust, chicken kabobs, polluting traffic, pomegranates, pistachios and dates, the sweat of women wearing scarves and long sleeves in 90-degree weather, masked by perfumes.

Lessons from Daniel5/20/2008  by June Mears Driedger 
Apparently Gandhi admired Daniel. (As in "the lion's den and the fiery furnace" Daniel.) Gandhi admired Daniel's wisdom and nonviolent resistance to the empire ruled by King Nebuchadnezzar. In contemporary language, Daniel knew how "to speak truth to power."

Reflections on Modern Activism5/20/2008  by Gabe Schlabach 
Peace and justice activism is really struggling to make a difference these days. This lack of effectiveness affects all who care about peace and justice issues, but it is especially palpable for those of us whose social justice convictions come from a deeply-held religious faith.

Faith and Feet5/20/2008  by Valerie Ong 
You're going to walk 75 miles in the desert!? This is usually the response I receive when I tell someone I'll be participating in an event called the Migrant Trail and walking through the Arizona desert from May 26 through June 1. I will walk along with other Mennonite Central Committee staff and constituents, as well as many other anticipated participants.
