Dear searcher,
I recently picked up a new book on PEACE. It is used as a college text: "GANDHI AND BEYOND: Nonviolence for a New Political Age," by David Cortright. I like college texts because they often have very good notes and bibliographies. It was not an easy read, but it has helped me have a broader focus than the Church. Government and politics should be understood, even if I would prefer to ignore them and pray.
In Christ's love,
Fr. Robert Pax
