Dear friends,

Since I last wrote to you I have been working for several months gathering together an interfaith directory of documents and web pages about conscientious objection and counter recruitment.

Please share the following web pages with anyone on your mailing list who may be interested, especially parents of teens.

http://www.turntowardlife.org/co_resources.htm
The C.O. Resources page offers a wide range of information about conscientious objection and resistance to war, including my partially-completed workbook+book of readings, A Change of Heart, and also a link to a great talk by the late Susan Sontag on why to protest when it does not seem as though it will make a difference.

http://www.turntowardlife.org/library_of_conscience.htm
The Library of Conscience page focuses on specific individual and organizational declarations of conscientious objection, including a very interesting document from the UN on "the right not to kill."

As always, your comments and suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks,
