AJ Muste, Peacemaker, who died on this date in 1967. He was born in 1883.

                                         2 Timothy 2:1,2 *

You then, 

my child, 

be strong 

in the grace 

that is in 

Christ Jesus, 

and what you have heard from many faithful witnesses  

entrust to faithful people 

who will be able to reach others as well.

“In a career that spanned protest against WW1 and the Vietnam War,  AJ Muste was arguably the outstanding American exponent 
of Christian nonviolence in the 20th century. “For many years 
A minister in the Dutch Reform-
ed Church, was executive secretary of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, which I think was the group Rempfer (Jack) Whitehouse was associated with.. Jack, who served in WW2 
as a translator in Germany, was seriously wounded.  After the war and his recovery, 
Jack gave as many years to promoting peace 
as he had given to the war  before becoming 
an Episcopal priest. 

Asked what good 

it did for him to maintain a vigil outside a nuclear weapons base, Muste replied “I don’t do this 

to change the world. 

I do it to keep the world from changing me.”   (Give Us This Day)

long been, a deacon.
