Conscience Canada hopes some members and supporters will take the time to share their stories of conscience and nonviolence. We hope to be able to use some of them in our next newsletter, coming out in September. For more details, contact <janslakov\u00a0at shaw.ca> or see our most recent newsletter, posted on this site.<\/p>\n

One great source for such stories is a new book, Crossing the Line: Nonviolent Resisters Speak Out for Peace<\/em> .<\/p>\n

‘Crossing the Line<\/em>‘ tells stories of dedication to nonviolence, civil disobedience
\nJohn Dear S.J.\u00a0https:\/\/www.ncronline.org\/authors\/john-dear<\/a> | Feb. 26, 2013 On the Road to Peace<\/p>\n

Going to prison for nonviolent civil disobedience against American war-making does wonders to clarify one\u2019s relationship with the U.S. government. I highly recommend it. When I reflect back on my life, it seems I have been preparing for civil disobedience, facing jail or trial, or undergoing probation regularly for 30 years. I\u2019m mainly engaged in writing, speaking and teaching peace to build up the anti-war\/global peace movement, but periodic civil disobedience and nonviolent protest have become for me a way of life. Along the way, one meets the best people.
\nVolume two of Rosalie Riegle\u2019s massive oral history project, Crossing the Line: Nonviolent Resisters Speak Out for Peace<\/em> (Cascade Books, 2013), makes me realize I\u2019m not alone. This massive collection of interviews with U.S. anti-war resisters (along with Doing Time for Peace<\/em>, which I reviewed last month) provides an unprecedented historical record of nonviolent resistance over the last five decades and shows how many of us have quietly given our lives to resisting American war-making and practicing nonviolence.<\/p>\n
