This is the story of one who marched in the Great Parade from the Depression of the 20th Century to the Peace Marches of the 21st because he heard a different drum. The good news is that this is a Golden Age of human history. The bad news is that it's coming to a halt after 9/11 2001 and the War in Iraq. The big question is whether we can act to avert disaster and resume the Great Parade to justice and peace. This member of the Silent Generation speaks out of his experience with allies to share learnings which show a way to march on. Q. How did a boy who rode his bicycle to preach in a country church in Maryland go on to become Senior Minister of a congregation on Park Avenue in New York City, serving rich and poor alike, along the way marching with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and others to become a volunteer in a local church and president of a university in California? A. By marching in the Great Parade to the beat of a different drum. Here's how, as recalled in these pages.
