This is our unabridged episode with John Dear. How do you live a good life in a world of 30 wars, 13,000 nuclear weapons, 4 billion people in poverty, racism, gun violence, child hunger, and catastrophic climate change? This is the question posed by activist and Catholic priest John Dear. For years, John has taken part in peace movements alongside folks like Coretta King, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Desmond Tutu. In this episode, he has some unbelievable stories that answer his question in a provocative way. To live a good life, he argues, you cannot support war, nuclear weapons, or violence. “To do the good,” in his words, “means to stop the killing.” Show Notes Similar episodes: The Architect of the American Civil Rights Movement: James Lawson The Business of War: Justin Barringer Martin Sheen: Actor and Activist Resources mentioned this episode: German Catholics and Hitler's Wars by Gordon Zahn Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl The Nonviolent Life by John Dear The Beatitudes Center John Dear's website Transcript for Abridged Episode Subscribe to episodes: Apple | Spotify | Amazon | Stitcher | Google | YouTube Follow Us: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube Follow Lee: Instagram | Twitter Join our Email List: nosmallendeavor.com Become a Member: Virtual Only | Standard | Premium See Privacy Policy: Privacy Policy Shop No Small Endeavor Merch: Scandalous Witness Course | Scandalous Witness Book |  Joy & the Good Life Course Amazon Affiliate Disclosure: Tokens Media, LLC is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

This is our unabridged interview with Martin Sheen. In this episode, Lee sits down with the former President of the United States… At least, that's how many listeners may know Martin Sheen, an award-winning actor known for his roles in “Apocalypse Now” and “The Departed,” and perhaps most famously for playing President Jed Bartlet in the hit TV series “The West Wing.” But offscreen, Martin is perhaps best described as an ardent Catholic peace activist who has been arrested over 60 times. In this episode, he tells his whole story, full of humor and grace all the way from his childhood, to his acting career, to activism alongside James Lawson and John Dear, and much more.

About The Gospel of Peace: A Commentary on Matthew, Mark, and Luke from the Perspective of NonviolenceIn this original and inspiring new commentary Father John Dear walks us through every line of the three synoptic Gospels, pointing out Jesus' practice and teachings of nonviolence each step of the way. As Dear shows us, Jesus is—like Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. —nonviolent to the core, a disarming, healing presence toward those in need. This Jesus is also a revolutionary disrupter of the unjust status quo and a political threat to the ruling authorities. Those authorities succeed in killing him, only to push Jesus to the heights of nonviolence through his death and resurrection.This original commentary brings a fresh new approach to the Gospels for all those who preach or engage in social ministries. It is sure to inspire everyone in this time of permanent warfare, gun violence, racism, poverty, and climate change. Learn more at Orbis BooksRev.

(broadcast date 8-22-22) The Old Spanish Days festival in Santa Barbara celebrates the area's cultural history. But some say celebrating at the mission glorifies a violent period in history. The City of San Luis Obispo recently created an Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and there are grants available for nonprofits. Author and peace activist Father John Dear talks about bringing peace and non-violence into our everyday lives. We explore the connections between housing costs and homelessness in Santa Barbara County.

Today's meditation comes from The Gospel Of Matthew in The New Testament and from the writings of John Dear, with music by Mark Himley.

Today on The Local: Emily & Jeff have your Quick Six local news headlines.Then, an interview with peace activist Reverend John Dear.

As you may recall, John Dear did our first interview (July 2020). He was with Pace e Bene then. Recently, on November 1st, John launched a new website www.beatitudescenter.org to offer a wide variety of online zoom programs, classes, workshops, retreats and classes. Their mission is “To teach and promote the Gospel message that Jesus was totally nonviolent, and that all his followers are called to be totally nonviolent.” And their vision is as follows: “We strive to help Christians study and live Jesus' Gospel teachings of nonviolence, especially in the Sermon on the Mount (Mt. 5-7), so that more and more people will practice creative Gospel nonviolence, like Gandhi, Dorothy Day and Dr. King, and work for the abolition of racism, poverty, war, nuclear weapons and environmental destruction, and for the coming of a new culture of justice and nonviolence. We use Pope Francis' Jan. 1, 2017 World Day of Peace Message, “Nonviolence—A Style of Politics for Peace,” as a guidepost. We offer online and in person workshops, retreats and conferences, podcasts, videos, books, articles and consultation to help fulfill our mission.”

Check out our exclusive interview with the producer of "Dear Promoter", Captain John, before the first episode of Carnival And Dem Ting Deh.

Dorothy Day is recognized as one of the "Greatest of all Americans" by Pope Francis and here John Dear tells you why in a talk covering Day's life, the Catholic Worker, and many, many quotes from Dorothy Day. Day at one time said that one can't be a Christian or a Catholic and support war and she lived up to that comment in her life protesting war, weapons and nuclear build up. Dear explains that Dorothy Day was the first Catholic to publicly say no to war. As a journalist she began the Catholic Worker newspaper and sold it for one cent. It became one of the most popular social justice publications of all time and is still going today. Dear emphasizes that Day is the epitome of a nonviolent life. Her "manifesto was the Sermon on the Mount" and she lived it setting up Catholic Worker houses that now spread across the country where the poor and homeless found a permanent home. You can learn more about living the nonviolent life that Day was committed to by reading John Dear's book, "The Nonviolent Life" which is available at the Pace e Bene www.paceebene.org.

So, you think you know the story of Lazarus? Guess again! In this podcast John Dear brings us on a journey through biblical times with Jesus, his disciples, the sisters of Lazarus, and the people of Bethany with his interpretation of the Gospel according to John, Chapter 11. Dear likens Jesus to Gandhi and the Salt March as Jesus marches on through Bethany to Jerusalem and the Cross. He states that Jesus had it figured out when he was brought the news of the death of his friend Lazarus. He reads to us Chapter 11 of John the Disciple’s Gospel and then offers us a much broader description of what that gospel means. Imagine if you will that Lazarus represents the entire human race. Imagine again that discipleship is friendship and Jesus states that there is no greater thing than to lay down your life for your friends. Imagine that the people of Bethany represent a people of a culture of death not unlike what we suffer with today; those enmeshed in violence and war. Jesus walks alone to Bethany. Where are the disciples? John Dear then gives you the shortest sentence in the Bible; “And then Jesus wept.” What does this mean? Dear explains it. With the story of Lazarus, Dear asks the question, “Does death get the last word?” He then gives you Jesus’ three commandments and has us confronting the power of death and our inability to handle hope. “Lazarus, come forth!” How is this a message for us today? Find out in this powerful and dynamic podcast. You can learn more about Lazarus in John Dear's book "Lazarus Come Forth" available at www.johndear.org.

In this presentation John Dear speaks about the 75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan and the danger humanity faces from the possibility of ever suffering from a nuclear attack. He tells how the movement against nuclear weapons calls for the abolition of nuclear weapons, not a freezing of developing them. Freezing just leaves a stockpile on hand ready to be used and about nine major countries hold a majority of nuclear warheads. John tells how most people alive today have lived under the threat of nuclear destruction all of their lives. He says we suffer from psychic numbness. There are approximately 16,000 nuclear weapons in the world, all ready to go at the pressing of a button. This and the fact that we spend trillions of dollars to produce them is the crux of the protest against them. John tells personal stories of his nonviolent actions in demonstrating for the end to nuclear weapons. These stories, some of them humorous, are in effect truly not funny. John has been arrested numerous times with these protests and you will gain insight as to why he perseveres in this work. Listen carefully as he explains "the greatest lie" having to do with the explanation as to why the United States dropped the Atomic bomb. "It is legal to build nuclear weapons," says John, but "when will we stop."

John Dear is an internationally known voice for peace and nonviolence. A peacemaker, organizer, lecturer, and retreat leader, he is the author/editor of 35 books, including his autobiography, “A Persistent Peace”. In 2008, John was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. John has been arrested over seventy-five times in acts of nonviolent civil disobedience for peace, and has organized hundreds of demonstrations against war and nuclear weapons at military bases across the country, as well as worked with Mother Teresa and others to stop the death penalty. A former Jesuit, John is a Catholic priest of the Diocese of Monterey, California, and on the staff of Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service and Campaign Nonviolence and is also part of the Vatican Nonviolence Initiative. See www.johndear.org “Our task, in these dark times, is simple: to speak the truth, resist war and injustice, practice nonviolence, walk with the poor, love everyone, say our prayers, and uphold the vision of a new world without war, poverty or nuclear weapons. We are called to follow the nonviolent Jesus on the road to peace. If we can be faithful to the God of peace and the Way of nonviolence, we will be greatly blessed.” – John Dear

In this podcast John Dear speaks to the journey to Fascism today with the true life story of Austrian Franz Jagerstatter, a farmer who refused to join the Nazi army in 1943 to fight on the Russian front knowing he would die if he refused. Franz was arrested and beheaded by the Nazis. He was Beatified in 2007 by the Roman Catholic Church. He may be elevated to sainthood. John tells how Franz would not give up his spiritual beliefs to participate in killing. As a young priest John visited Austria and met Franziska, Jagerstatter's wife. He tells how he considers Franziska a saint as well as a Franz. He tells how Franz went to the church and asked what he should do when being told to join the Nazi army and how church bishops and priests all told him he should do as they say. But Franz's faith was stronger and he refused. The recent movie production "A Hidden Life" tells the story of a man most people have never heard of before. Hear about Franz's dream and vision about the train that took the men from his town to join the Nazis and how he heard the words "Get off that train to Hell." John ends his podcast with a warning to us as we face the path to Fascism and gives us strength to pursue nonviolence with noncooperation just like Franz Jagerstatter did. This is a fascinating tale for all to hear and take note.

With our friends Brian Zahnd and Nobel Peace prize nominee John Dear we discuss this moment, Terrence Malick’s new film ‘An Hidden Life’ and the witness of Franziska and Franz Jägerstätter. Before our discussion we hear from the streets of #BlackLivesMatter protests, this time from long term Aboriginal activist, Aunty Esther Montgomery on “everyone has a role to play” in this moment. With special thanks to www.peacockvisuals.com who made the short film found on our YouTube channel.

John Dear speaks to us on the life and teachings of the monk Thomas Merton. Dear tells us that Merton was one of the first United States priests or monks to publicly denounce war, racism, nuclear weapons, and violence. He quotes Merton as saying, “the God of peace is never glorified by human violence.” John extends that by adding “the God of peace is always glorified by human nonviolence.” Thus, begins a podcast filled with eye opening revelations that Merton experienced and wrote about in his many books and and essays. Merton says that “the chief difference between violence and nonviolence is that violence depends entirely on its own calculations, Nonviolence depends entirely on God.” John tells of Merton’s past that was radically different from his life as a Trappist monk where he spent years in contemplative prayer. Merton, he states, rejected war, and dedicated his life to abolishing war and the weapons of war. His revelation that he loved the entire human race may have come from his study of Gandhi during the 1950s and he wrote that we should first find unity within ourselves rather than trying to force unity on others. John tells of one essay wherein Merton states, “I believe that the problem of solving international conflict without massive violence has become the number one problem of our time. The task of humanity and of the church is to end all wars.” John goes on to speak to how we are now living in a global pandemic of violence and war. We have the virus of violence. This is a powerful message with much more for you to listen to.

(This podcast was recorded in February prior to John leaving on his national book tour, which was cancelled shortly after it began due to the corona virus pandemic. John is sheltering at home on the Central Coast of California and sends his blessing to everyone at this difficult time.) It is more than resurrection according to John Dear on his latest podcast Walking with the Nonviolent Risen Jesus. It is Revolution! Listen as John tells us how it all came down as described in Luke 24. Resurrection is not possible without nonviolence. He goes on to wonder why Jesus put up with all the torture and death and then comes back! John says. "If it was me I wouldn't have come back, but this guy not only comes back to his disciples, he makes breakfast for them." We will understand the disciples better and understand ourselves better as we hear John explain the grammatical past pluperfect of "We had hoped."

Don't miss this week's Now & Then timely and engaging interview with John Dear - a peace activist jailed more than 80 times, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, author, and good friend of Henri Nouwen's. Episode Notes: http://henrinouwen.org/now-then-john-dear/ Website: www.henrinouwen.org

(This podcast was recorded in February prior to John leaving on his national book tour, which was cancelled shortly after it began due to the corona virus pandemic. John is sheltering at home on the Central Coast of California and sends his blessing to everyone at this difficult time.) John Dear talks about Jesus stating the way he lived during his time was totally nonviolent. He resisted the Roman empire just as we should be resisting the empire of war and death we live in now. Dear speaks about the peace movements going on in the country like Fire Drill Fridays with Jane Fonda and the 3000 participants across the country in last year's week of nonviolence actions around International Peace Day. He states "we need to be a global movement now!" Dear explains nonviolent resistance as us "cooing like a dove and hissing like a snake, but not hurting anyone." We are existing under the demons of apathy and complacency, but if we took up the "cross" like Jesus did nonviolently we would find out that we have already won. Through Jesus' campaign of nonviolence we have been given the power if we claim it.

Author and activist John Dear discussed “Living The Nonviolent Life,” 8:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m., Saturday, March 7, at Whitfield Center, Avila University, 11901 Wornall Road, Kansas City, MO, and “The Nonviolent Path as Illuminated by Jesus,” 2-4:00 p.m., Sunday, March 8, at Community of Christ Temple, 1001 W.

This is not the Sermon on the Mount that you might be used to! John Dear takes us on a new path to understand what Jesus was saying to the world with the Sermon on the Mount. He spoke of loving our enemies, do unto others as you would have done to yourself, and passing through the narrow gate. John reminds us that Gandhi read the Sermon on the Mount every day of his life and felt it was the blueprint for a successful life. John speaks of active nonviolent resistance to the evil we are experiencing today. He comments that the church's Just War Theory does not fit to what the Sermon was teaching. He talks of noncooperation and systemic injustice. War is about money, John says and he reminds us that God is nonviolent.

Peace activist John Dear speaks on his newest book Praise Be Peace: Psalms of Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of War and Climate Change. Dear recites a variety of Psalms and relates how each pertains to our search for peace in a world possessed by violence and war. In his book John relates many personal stories of locations, events, and people that influenced him to deal with our current problems, such as climate change, nuclear weapons build-up, and economic injustice. John reminds us to step into peace, practice meditation, and be nonviolent in all things.

In observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day January 20, 2020, John Dear speaks of King's journey with civil rights during the 1960s. Dear relates many of the incidents in King's life such as the letter from Birmingham Jail, the night King heard God's voice speak to him, and his many speeches and marches. Dear also tells of his own personal involvement as a child the day King was assassinated and later as a new Jesuit speaking with Coretta King.

John Dear reflects on the journey of Mary the Mother of Jesus as she accepts God's intentions for her. Dear emphasizes how revolutionary her acceptance and her words were at the time of Jesus. He also emphasizes how we can take on our own Advent journey of nonviolence by rejecting war and militarism and standing up for a world of peace and nonviolence.

John Dear is an American Catholic priest, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Christian pacifist, vegetarianism advocate, author and lecturer, and a former member of the Society of Jesus. He has been arrested over 75 times in acts of nonviolent civil disobedience against war, injustice and nuclear weapons as part of his "consistent ethic of nonviolence".

Daniel Berrigan’s play “The Trial of the Catonsville Nine,” based on the court transcripts from the trial of nine Vietnam War peace activists, tells the story of a break-in at the Maryland draft office on May 17, 1968, which resulted in the incineration of 378 draft cards with homemade napalm. Brothers Philip Berrigan and Daniel Berrigan—both Catholic priests—led the movement and are joined by seven church parishioners in their protest for peace. In sharp contrast to the wave of young, liberal extremists that were making headlines at the time, The Nine offered a fresh face to the anti-war movement and inspired a new generation of activists in the process. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Daniel Berrigan’s editor, close friend and executor John Dear and director Jack Cummings III talk about staging the first New York production of “The Trial of the Catonsville Nine” in more than three decades.

This week Rev. Anne Dunlap draws the connection between Jesus being unwelcome in his hometown and teaching his team to shake off the dust from their feet when they are unwelcome (Mark 6: 1-13), with some Langston Hughes and Dr. Vincent Harding to help us think about all of this in the context of the 4th of July. "This empire that holds the truths of white supremacy and capitalism to be self-evident is a space where compassionate community is unwelcome. This empire is a space that tries to sap us of our collective power..."

In Episode 2 of Among The People, Father John Dear joins us to discuss how he has committed his life to promoting world peace, social justice, non-violence and awareness to the extreme dangers we face with climate change. His empowering message will motivate you to deeply consider your personal role in ending violence, racism and poverty as he shares his own accounts of non-violent activism, incarceration, protest and putting himself in harm’s way for the promotion of peace and justice. “To be a Christian, is to be a person of non-violence. Which means to be a christian you cannot have anything to do with war, racism, greed, nuclear weapons, environmental destruction … you have to be continuing Jesus’ life of revolutionary non-violence.” His profound stories range from hitch-hiking through war ravaged Lebanon, where from the Sea of Galilee he witnessed Israeli bombs drop upon the place where Jesus spoke. Father Dear goes on to share his reflections from his life-long work that has taken him around the world, from the most dangerous war-zones to the streets of the largest cities, spreading his message in protest to violence and social injustice. Father Dear is an author and sought after lecturer on the topics of peace, disarmament and nonviolence throughout the United States, and around the world, including national speaking tours of England, Australia and New Zealand. Father Dear has received several peace awards, including the 2010 Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award and has been nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize. In January 2008 he was nominated by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and with Leo Rebello in 2015. Today, Father Dear lives completely off the grid on a remote mountain top in the desert, but continues his busy schedule of education people on the necessity of creating a new culture of peace throughout the world. “We all have to become activists, we all need to stand in opposition to the culture of war.”

Tony and Shane talk with John Dear about his work to sensitize the church against violence.

Periodically in recent years, there has appeared to be a resurgence of activity in the U.S. by white supremacist groups, the Ku Klux Klan and neo Nazis, marching openly in US cities often defending their right to assemble and spout hate speech as constitutionally protected freedom of speech. As the marches and gatherings occasionally become more frequent, tensions have risen. Counter protesters appear on the streets to stand against the divisive ideologies. Some of them are provoked to act aggressively. And skirmishes have resulted. Fractions of both groups choose violence. One of the high profile confrontations was in Charlottesville, Virginia in the summer of 2017…and there have been others. It’s all sparked a debate about appropriate and effective ways to demonstrate peacefully to counter hate speech and extreme ideologies. One core riddle seems to have been, whether people of good conscience and compassion should NOT show up to white supremacist rallies and just ignore the hate speech, whether they should show up and engage in comedic put downs of the extremist groups, or whether to show up and actively out-shout and out number them, or should they be even more aggressive in confronting the hate speech purveyors, as the groups that came to be known as ANTI-FA for anti-fascist, tried in chasing and harassing the white power groups. We’re going to offer our own conversation on the topic today… Our guests are social activist and author John Dear, Jesuit priest who’s written extensively on Gandhi as well as books like Living Peace, Peace Behind Bars, and A Persistent Peace. Tonya Covington is Director of Conflict Resolution at Outcomes, Inc. in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Tonya has been a trained mediator and teacher of mediation for 27 years. Tonya has expertise in Workplace and Cross-cultural conflict. Brian Levin is a professor of criminal justice and director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University at San Bernadino. He is a court certified expert on extremism in both the US and the UK and has testified before both houses of Congress. He has also consulted for the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, as well as for universities and civil rights groups. We’ve also heard on tape from Frank Meeink – a former skinhead who now lectures on tolerance and compassion after long ago quitting is association with neo-Nazi groups.
