Bob Chapman: Everett, Washington
If none of us ever read a book that was "dangerous," had a friend who was "different," or joined an organization that advocated "change," we would all be just the kind of people Joe McCarthy wants.

When I allow myself to become angry, I disconnect from God and connect with the evil force that empowers fighting. When I allow myself to become fearful, I disconnect from God and connect with the evil force that encourages flight.
Weary of all trumpeting, weary of all killing,
weary of all songs that sing promise, non-fulfilling,
we would raise, O Christ, one song;
we would join in singing
that great music pure and strong,
wherewith heaven is ringing.
—Martin H. Franzmann (1907-1976), alt., from The Hymnal 1982, number 572 (New York: The Church Hymnal Corporation, 1985)
