And I feel touched that he chose to quote from what I said. I certainly believe what I said to be true!<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words, Jim! And I really appreciate the work that you’ve done on this biographical collection, Koozma: it is so valuable to have a new resource that shows what twenty-first-century Doukhobors are working and reflecting on right now.Ashleigh Androsoff, Ph.D., Department of History, University of Saskatchewan,noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048398846215710793.post-78786990002559890962022-02-04T14:00:27.354-08:002022-02-04T14:00:27.354-08:00Koozma!

And, thanks for sending David Swanson a copy of your exciting new book, without which this statement from David may not have been possible.<br /><br />World Beyond War is one of the newest and most vibrant developments on the re-emerging world-wide anti-war front. The fact that their Executive Director has made this powerful call to the world, using Doukhobors as an example, has a most profound resonance for all of us Doukhobor descendants, whose ancestors made their fateful stand in 1895!<br /><br />Let's all make a similar commitment to see that these most recent optimistic trends act as an inspiring impetus to an ongoing explosion of enlightened consciousness, and its manifestation in the committed, non-violent actions of an ever-growing multitude of peace-loving people world-wide!<br /><br />D.E.
