Pretty rambly but I think that is Berrigan’s thing. His attention to his peers is beautiful and equally faithful.

QOTB:
“In confronting G.E., we choose to obey God’s law of life, rather than a corporate summons to death. Our beating of swords into plowshares is a way to English this biblical call. In our action, we draw on a deep-rooted faith in Christ, who changed the course of history through his willingness to suffer rather than to kill. We are filled with hope for our world and for our children as we join this act of resistance.”
