The writings on this site represent a Legacy for my family of thought and effort for Peace With Justice over many years. The majority of items are essays, articles, and letters written by me, covering selected topics. To these are added selected writings by other authors, particularly well suited to augment my own thinking. Dominant themes of the writings are: 1) How the Bush administration has taken the country to an illegal and immoral war based on falsehoods and deceit and 2) The complicity of the Christian churches and people which has made Jesus Christ irrelevant to the war.
See the Forward to the Legacy Book.
The site contains two main divisions:
1) An Iraq War Discussion Guide with action ideas for what people can do, topical discussion questions, worship and prayer resources, and on-line resources for further information.
2) A compilation of the Peace Writings arranged by topic (see navigation headings at the top of each page).
NOTE: THE READER IS FREE TO SHARE THIS WEB SITE WITH INTERESTED PERSONS, AND TO MAKE USE OF, PRINT, OR CIRCULATE, WITH PROPER DOCUMENTATION OF AUTHORSHIP, ALL ITEMS IN THIS WEB SITE ACTUALLY WRITTEN BY PHILIP E. BEAL.
Suggestion to the reader: If you are devoted to President George W. Bush, and supportive of the war in Iraq, then I would encourage you, nevertheless, to read on with an open mind and heart. Maybe we can learn from each other if we can talk and listen with mutual respect.
