Prayer for many is like a foreign land. When
we go there, we go as tourists. Like most
tourists, we feel uncomfortable and out of
place. Like most tourists, we therefore move
on before too long and go somewhere else.

The two paths
by Jim Wallis
Something extraordinary is happening to us as a
nation. We've experienced both our vulnerability
and our unity as never before. Out of the horrible
death and destruction of last week have come
powerful acts of compassion, courage, and heroism.
Thousands of us have been killed, and the whole
nation feels deeply connected to the lives lost.
While our grief will go on for months and years,
the days of official mourning will soon be past.
Now comes the question of our response, and that
response will become a "test of our national
character," according to a recently released
statement by more than 2,000 leaders from America's
largest religious communities - Christian, Jewish,
Muslim, and Buddhist (read the statement and add
your signature at http://www.sojo.net/response).
Most every American demands a strong response to the
terror that has been visited upon us. But two paths
are emerging. One speaks the language of justice
and invokes the rule of law in promising to bring the
perpetrators of such evil to accountability. Those
who so violated the standards of civilized life, and
the human values we hold most dear, must never be
allowed to escape judgment and punishment, and the
danger of even more terror must be prevented.
The other path uses the language of war and invokes
a spirit of retribution, and even vengeance - quite
frankly, emotions we can all understand at the
moment. A "war against terrorism" summons up the
strength and resolve to stop these horrific acts and
prevent their cancerous spread. But the war language
fails to provide moral and practical boundaries for
that response. It could lead to indiscriminate
retaliation, out of anger and vengeance, that would
result in even more loss of innocent life.
Americans have seldom seen up close and felt the
pain that comes from the deliberate destruction of
innocent life on such a scale. Until now, it has
only been in foreign lands where we have observed
the horrible loss that accompanies the massive and
violent rending of families and relationships in
unspeakable events. Now we understand what many
people who inhabit this planet with us have been
forced to live with.
But it is just that collective experience of
terrible pain that may now help shape our response.
As one woman put it in a radio interview: "Mr.
President, don't spread our pain." A rising
sentiment in the country wants our nation's
response to be born of our best values, and not
our worst impulses. We are hearing more voices
asserting that we must not become the evil we
loathe in our response to it - we should respond
out of our deepest values, not those of the
terrorists.
All of our religious traditions call us to
community, tolerance, compassion, justice, and
the sacredness of human life. This attack offers
us a stark view of the world terrorism would
create, where the remedy to every human grievance
and injustice is a resort to the random violence
of revenge - even against the most innocent. They
have taken thousands of our lives, attacked our
national symbols, forced our political leaders to
flee their chambers of governance, disrupted our
work and families, and struck fear into the hearts
of our children. They and the world they represent
must be soundly defeated. The question we now
face is how to do that. We can deny them a victory
by refusing to submit to a world created in their
image.
A Gallup poll says that 73 percent of the American
people believe our response must be targeted "only
against those responsible" for last week's attack
on America. I believe such public opinion is
motivated not only by moral considerations, but
also by pragmatic concerns. Bombing the children
of Kabul would create utter glee among the Osama
bin Ladens of the world, who would finally be
able to raise the armies of terror they've always
dreamed of. It would also deprive us of the moral
high ground the United States holds in world opinion
since the attack - for the first time in some years.
A more courageous response on our part is now
required. Discipline, patience, and perseverance
in vanquishing the networks, assets, and
capabilities of violent terrorists is a path more
likely to be effective than merely cathartic. An
even more courageous national commitment would be
to honestly face the grievances and injustices
that breed rage and vengeance, and are continually
exploited by terrorists to recruit the angry and
desperate.
The debate about which path to take - justice or
vengeance - is taking place in conversations across
America and, I trust, at the highest levels of
political power. The outcome of that debate will
shape our future even more than the terrorists can.
We can make the right choices in this crisis, and
in so doing, point the way to a better world.[]

Brothers at odds in Guatemala:
Dictator general and his bishop brother
by Megan Feldman
SF Chronicle Foreign Service
Growing up in a noisy household of 13 children,
the two brothers were serious and self-directed,
with boyhood dreams that foreshadowed the men they
would become: Efrain loved maps and military parades;
Mario went to Mass every morning and prayed with
priests after school.
Today, the brothers lead opposing factions in
Guatemala's problematic peace process, and their
distinct lives show how families were divided by
politics during a 36-year civil war (1960-96) that
often pitted brother against brother.
Now, as the nation struggles to build its fledgling
democracy, Efrain Rios Montt and Mario Rios Mont -
they spell their surnames differently - continue to
be on opposite sides of the political fence.
Efrain, 73, is a former military dictator who
presided over one of the most brutal periods of
the conflict between government troops and
leftist guerrillas. He is president of Congress
and is seen by his enemies as a symbol of impunity
and an obstacle to democracy.
Mario, 67, is a Roman Catholic bishop who directs
the church's human rights office, created to
investigate the deaths of the war's 200,000
victims, most of whom died at the hands of the
military. In June, a judge ordered investigations
into the possibility of criminal charges against
Efrain Rios Montt for the deaths of 1,362
highland Maya Indians suspected of supporting the
rebels.
"Once people put on uniforms and have guns in their
hands, they forget they are human," said the bishop.

And Death Shall Have No Dominion
by Dylan Thomas
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Through they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

Passing of a guide
by David Batstone
Tuesdays in September have been full of
grieving. Exactly one week before the tragic
events of Sept. 11, I received notice that one
of my mentors, Robert McAfee Brown, had passed
away.
Bob Brown was one of a breed. During the civil
rights struggle, he was jailed as a Freedom Rider.
He joined other clergy in protesting America's
involvement in the Vietnam War. And as recently
as 1997, he protested nuclear weapons in a fast
that he and Daniel Ellsberg staged at the United
Nations. He may be known best of all for his
commitment to the struggles of the poor in Latin
America and other Third World areas, a subject
he wrote about frequently.
In large part, it was due to Bob's influence
that I went to El Salvador (and surrounding
countries), and ended up spending more than a
decade in human rights and economic development
campaigns in the region. On each return trip to
the U.S., I would call on Bob for strategic and
spiritual counsel. He never failed me.
Sounds like Bob Brown was a very self-righteous
ideologue, no? Nothing could be further from the
truth. So many stories could be told - his self-
deprecating humor was legendary - but I recall
one lesson most vividly. Standing in front of
a class of eager social activists, Bob declared
to us that if we really wanted to stand up for
justice, we had best start with humility. "The
true prophet must realize that he or she might
be dead wrong," he said.
What a lesson for all of us to keep in mind as
we throw the word "justice" to and fro so casually
in the last 10 days. May Bob's spirit live on in
a generation of activists who aim to walk down
the path he trod so constantly.

Robert McAfee Brown (1920-2001)
by Paul K. Ehara, Robert McAfee Brown's son-in-law,
who resides in Richmond, California
----
Robert McAfee Brown, passed away this morning
(September 4) around 6:30 a.m. in Greenfield, Mass.,
where he had been resting in a convalescent home
for the past two weeks or so.
There is a sense of completeness that he died in Heath.
This is where he courted his wife Sydney 60 years ago
while they were college students on summer break, earning
money doing farm chores. It is where he, Sydney, and a
couple of other of Reinhold Niebuhr's students and their
wives from Union Theological Seminary in NYC would settle
in for the summer to be together as families and raise
their children. (Niebuhr himself lived in Heath). It's
where they found (and created) the beauty, solace, and
community to write their essays, sermons, books, music,
and jokes, and to argue the rough and fine points of
theology and ecumenics. It's where they created a
community of progressive and artistic Christian
intelligentsia, a base from which Bob and his
colleagues would themselves become respected
theologians and members of the congregation.
Many of you knew of Bob as a wise and world-renowned
theologian and teacher of great integrity. Together, he
and Sydney were in the forefront of the civil rights
movement and other major justice issues of our time.
He spoke and wrote prolifically about Christianity and
what it means to be a Christian in ways that touched us
deeply. He consistently championed the voice of the
poor, the oppressed, the marginalized, and the unheard.
But for me, I could never quite square that famous
persona with who he was to me - my father-in-law, with
whom I could sit in the living room and discuss
baseball or the Bible with equal fervor and delight.
For me he was Alison's papa; he was Colin and Aki's
grandpa (when they were little guys they called him
"Bop"), he was Sydney's partner. And in that context
he was sweet and kind, a shy man of great intelligence,
humility, humor, insight, and courage. He understood
the complexity of simple things. I have been so lucky
to have shared life with him, and with Alison's family,
all these years.
I love you, Bob. We love you. Thank you for the gift
of your thoughtful hard work all these years, and for
showing us how it's done.

Finally, real leadership
by Ed Spivey Jr.
In this moment of great crisis, two men have stepped
forward to provide the leadership a grateful nation
so desperately needs. Unfortunately, their names are
Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, so they may not be
helpful to an actual nation such as those found on
Earth.
On a recent 700 Club show, Jerry Falwell looked
directly into the camera and blamed the recent
terrorist attacks on homosexuals and liberals. Pat
Robertson, the long-time host of the show, was
equally forceful when he, too, looked directly into
the camera and said "Jerry, that's my feeling."
Unfortunately, he was looking into the wrong
camera at the time, so he had to look around for
the right one, but by then the forceful moment
was over and so it was pretty much back to normal
for a show that each week reaches out to millions
of Christians and puts them into a trance-like
sleep in their own living rooms.
Even though federal investigators are pretty sure
violent extremists were behind the recent attacks,
Falwell and Robertson are insisting (and I'm
paraphrasing here) "Not so fast, Mr. Know-It-All
guys from the FBI, CIA, and NS-Something-or-Other!
How about the homosexuals and liberals?"
While conceding that foreign interests do appear to
be responsible, Falwell and Robertson encouraged
officials not to overlook the suspects in our own
back yards. (On a personal note, just the other day
I looked out my kitchen window and noticed a dozen
or so liberals and homosexuals in my own backyard,
but I failed to notify authorities. And that's just
the kind of complacency that the good reverends
are talking about!)
In their defense, they're just God-fearing American
evangelical leaders who are trying to take a
national crisis and turn it into an opportunity
to increase their own notoriety. No, wait. That
came out wrong. Critics of Falwell and Robertson
have accused them of using the same hate tactics
as suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden, who is
on record as hating virtually everything except
facial hair. But the comparison stops there, since
Osama bin Laden's $300 million fortune doesn't
begin to approach Robertson's billion-dollar empire.
So the televangelists press on, speaking the truth
as they see it, fanning the flames of common sense,
pouring verbal gasoline on the fires of reason,
adding fuel to the incendiary debate of truth.
Hey, it's what they do. And they do it so well.

I recently renewed my subscription to Sojourners

I'm glad I did. Your cover article (September/
October 2001) was a heroic attempt to be fair to
both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian issue, and
I commend your effort. However, you missed one
essential element. In addition to the lack of
"symmetry" in actions (and I will not deny that
more damage is being done to the Palestinians
than to the Israelis) there is another lack of
symmetry that may be at the root of the entire
problem, and that is in the goals.
The goal of most of the Israeli leaders, I believe,
is that the state of Israel shall continue to exist.
The undeniable, publicly stated goal of most of
the leaders of the Palestinians is that the state
of Israel shall cease to exist.
I try very hard to believe in and practice
principles of nonviolence, but if I were in a

As a concerned American teen-ager, I feel I must voice

I believe the United States' response to this terror
should be that of protecting its citizens (in a
military way, if necessary), and NOT of vengeance.
A military response can be achieved without revenge.
God states "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." We
should "deny them their victory," not so much by
taking revenge, but by letting the Sovereign God
give them their due, in His own time.

Judy Douglas of Melbourne, Australia, wrote:
Although Rev. Thomas will not read this as he has
now ceased to subscribe to SojoMail, I just wanted
to pose a question. How can we say that America
deserves no blame and then take military action
in a foreign country where more innocent civilians
are likely to be killed?
It seems to me the people of Afghanistan and other
Arab nations are less to blame as they have no
democratic say in who runs their country. It is
much harder for them to openly protest the
actions of their leaders. In the West we have
freedom but also apathy. We do not make a strong
stand against our government's unjust foreign
policies. Whether they are supplying weapons
to support foreign armies or making money at
the expense of the poor in the developing
world, we stand by and watch even when we have
the freedom to organize opposition and protest.
Often our vote depends more on whether we will
get a tax cut rather than on how justly our
government is acting in world affairs.
I want to defend SojoMail's call to restraint.
We are called to repentance and personal
responsibility, not blame. The innocent do suffer,
the wounds are deep and our grief goes on and on,
but it is also worth asking, "What have I done,
or allowed to happen, that has contributed to
this outcome?"

Cory Trenda of San Jose, California, wrote:
I'm very disappointed in your article "Running a
fool's crusade" by Danny Duncan Collum (9/19).
Collum does nothing to tone down the national
rhetoric. His all-too-familiar diatribe against
every political decision he ever hated gets us
nowhere. Bush hasn't taken any military action
yet! Only hysterics seem to keep people like
Collum from remembering that. There is *huge*
pressure on Bush - who has a large, diverse
constituency to keep happy - to overact or
underact. All the while, he has to say enough
to keep everyone calm and moving in the same
general direction without saying so much as
to be misunderstood.
Is this still a faith-based publication? Then
how about encouraging some prayer for our
president? Would Collum not have suggested as
much for Clinton in the same situation, or
for Gore had he won? What's wrong with some
empathy that the weight of this tragedy falls
perhaps more squarely on Bush's shoulder than
any other person on earth? Is that such a
trivial detail that we should simply rant
about the unknown based primarily on our
preconceptions of him? I expected much more
of Collum as your lead story, and far more
from Sojourners.

Alwyn Thomson from Belfast, Northern Ireland, wrote:
Mr. Collum's article makes a whole series of
assumptions about what the U.S. and other governments
plan to do in response to international terrorism.
Why is he so sure that Afghanistan is going to be
bombed? Why is he so sure that American forces are
going to try and march through the villages of
that country? And will he be disappointed if the
U.S. and other governments do not behave in this way?
Perhaps Mr. Collum should, like most sensible people,
encourage and support a measured, sophisticated,
multifaceted, and effective response to international
terrorism. Then, once it becomes clearer how
governments are responding, it will be time for
creative and intelligent criticism.

Thank you for Danny Duncan Collum's piece. The
humor was refreshing, the points well made.
I'm a high-school teacher. I've tried many things
to deal with "disruptive, disrespectful" students.
This year something finally seems to be helping.
In each class, we developed a class compact.
Students worked in small groups to develop rights/
responsibilities and then, as a class, we combined
the ideas. Some ideas were against school district
policy, some were silly, some were way off, but
most ideas were sensible and give students respect
and a voice in class. So far, students are reminding
each other of the compact and, other than getting
enough quiet to give directions, I'm having a much
more enjoyable day.
What's my point? It has taken me eight years to get
away from dictating the rules and trying to get
everyone to follow my direction alone. Call me
"hard-headed" or "plain dumb." But maybe there
is a lesson for the U.S.
If we want to have an enjoyable day, let's ask our
"enemies" what they want. We can throw out the
ridiculous and work on the areas of commonality
that give everyone - not just the teacher/U.S. -
power and say over what will happen. Mutual respect
is powerful.

As he later notes, Muslims deny - according to the

resurrected by God and is now part of the Trinity.
Thus, we are not worshipping the same God as the

fact that we are indeed worshipping different Gods.

Secondly, I believe it was Hitler who made demands

And the more he got, the more he wanted until his
was a military machine bent on world domination.
