Harmon Wray -- Peace and Justice
Harmon Wray, advocate for peace and justice, died yesterday. I had the privilege of attending church with Harmon for several years and valued his wisdom and commitment to justice. Harmon was co-author of
Beyond Prisons: A New Interfaith Paradigm for Our Failed Prison System last year. He was also instrumental in setting up a
Vanderbilt Divinity School class that meets at Riverbend Maxium Security Prison here in Nashville.
You can watch and hear Harmon in a peace video
here. In the very best Southern accent, he makes these profound statements that we should all memorize:
"The worst thing you can do for your country is support it when it fails to live up to what it says it believes in.”
A commitment to non-violence "takes more guts in many ways than military action does.”
Peace and justice.
