Click picture to link to good introduction to nonviolent ideas/behaviors. This is in no way a comprehensive article. The inclusion of this is that it is
relatively brief and yet comprehensive enough to be considered
informative. [Editor's note: I disagree with some of his definitions.] There is much confusion
about meaning and tactic amongst peace loving people. Let us commit to an intelligent investigation
and inspired action.

 The Catholic Worker Movement
The Catholic Worker Movement began simply enough on May
1, 1933, when a journalist named Dorothy Day and a philosopher named
Peter Maurin teamed up to publish and distribute a newspaper called
"The Catholic Worker." This radical paper promoted the biblical promise
of justice and mercy.
Grounded in a firm belief in the
God-given dignity of every human person, their movement was committed
to nonviolence, voluntary poverty, and the Works of Mercy as a way of
life. It wasn't long before Dorothy and Peter were putting their
beliefs into action, opening a "house of hospitality" where the
homeless, the hungry, and the forsaken would always be welcome.
Over
many decades the movement has protested injustice, war, and violence of
all forms. Today there are some 130 Catholic Worker communities in the
United States. Link to various essays.
