Our Judeo-Christian-Muslim heritage calls us to be agents of healing in a broken world. In his youth, he believed the world worked that way. Then his junior year at the American University of Beirut (1965) he became aware of the horrible abuse by the West on the Third World. “Things that broke my heart.”
He attended Chicago Theological Seminary(UCC 67-70)combining study of scripture and history with active involvement in the “concerns of the world.” Ever since he has been involved in politics, minority rights, civil liberties, peace, health and the environment. Unwilling to “sell his soul” for economic security, he worked mostly as a self-employed carpenter.
Now retired in Cincinnti, Ohio, he concludes the way the process is systematically controlled by big money interests makes other change almost impossible. He is dedicated to the fundamental changes in the way government does business which are necessary as the foundation for all other changes to be possible. wedonthavefreespeech@outlook.com
