Brandywine Peace February 10

Sunday, February 10, 4:30p.m. - ROSALIE G. RIEGLE, author of DOING TIME FOR PEACE: Resistance, Family, and Community at Brandywine Peace Community Monthly Potluck Supper & Program, University Lutheran Church, 3637 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104

ROSALIE G. RIEGLE is a college English teacher, oral historian, and author of two books on the Catholic Worker movement, Voices from the Catholic Worker and Dorothy Day: Portraits by Those Who Knew Her, she raised four daughters and co-founded two Catholic Worker houses in Saginaw, Michigan.

In her new book, DOING TIME FOR PEACE: Resistance, Family, and Community (Vanderbilt University Press, January 7, 2013), Riegle focuses on the homemakers, carpenters, social workers, and teachers who resist war, militarism, and the deadly costs of empire in the strongest nonviolent way possible—by engaging in acts of civil resistance/disobedience and willingly accept their "punishment for peace" by going to prison. In this compelling collection of oral histories, more than seventy peacemakers describe how they have said NO to war, the price they've paid - and what that has meant for their families and communities.
