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: 


Peace and justice.
