Peace Pieces:
“Our pacifism is not given to us merely so that our children may remain safely behind when the servant of Mars sent their children off to spend their lives in war. Rather, our pacifism should help us join the public discussion and help our non-pacifist neighbors better see how the Empire Story so powerfully subvert the Democracy Story we all profess to affirm.
-- Ted Grimsrud “Anabaptist Faith and American Democracy”
