DESCRIPTION:Rosalie Riegle will speak about her new books: "Doing Time for Peace: 
 Resistance, Family, and Community," and "Crossing the Line: Nonviolent 
 Resisters Speak out for Peace" Inspiring and eye-opening actions presented 
 with undeniable honesty and humility that should be required reading for 
 those interested in civil disobedience and its consequences. Books 
 available for purchase; donation requested. \n\nFrom the publisher 
 website:\nMore than sixty-five peacemakers have contributed oral narratives 
 to this compelling history of those who say no to war making in the 
 strongest way possible: by engaging in civil disobedience and paying the 
 consequences in jail or prison. Crossing the Line gives voice to often 
 neglected social history and provides provocative stories of actions, 
 trials, and imprisonment.\n\nThis fascinating volume serves as an excellent 
 supplement to conventional histories. Almost all the storytellers here are 
 people of faith or are inspired by those who live by faith. Many work at 
 conventional careers; some do full-time peacemaking by living in Catholic 
 Worker houses or in the Jonah House community; several are priests and nuns 
 who minister worldwide. Also featured are three resisters prominent in War 
 Resisters League history.\n\nFrom World War II conscientious objectors to 
 contemporary activists, these narrators have refused to be helpless in the 
 face of a violent world, and have said with their bodies that they do not 
 accept the status quo of permanent war and war preparation. In short, the 
 voices illustrate hope at a time when it seems in short supply.\n
