Praise forSilence Is Not the Answer
All those who want their faith recentered on the radical call of Jesus should read this book.
Bishop Dr. Guy Erwin, Southwest California Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Reading the chapters of this book, I could not help but recall the telegram that Gerhart Riegner, secretary of the World Jewish Congress, sent on August 8, 1942, calling for the powers that be to acknowledge Hitlers plan to exterminate all the Jews of Europe. In the United States, his message was met with total silence. Thank you, George and Vivian, for sounding a warning and calling for our response.
Dr. Paul Wee, retired Senior Representative in Berlin, The Lutheran World Federation
Georges Letter to My Bishop was so powerful.... When I finished the book, I was literally in tears. The book conveyed my theology, and I no longer felt so alone in the world. It convinced me that I cannot remain passive; our humanness, our identity, and our soul depend on action on our pressing contemporary issues.
Myrna Christopherson Kysar, retired pastor, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
George Johnson has pulled together another growing edge book that calls us to consider more deeply the ways in which we break the silences.
Rev. James M. Lawson, Jr., teacher (19581968) for Martin King and John Lewis
From Georges and other authors prophetic words, I find inspiration, energy, and hope at this critical time as I hear the cry of all creation. Vivian Johnsons Why I March is wonderfully informative. I appreciate Georges honesty in the preface as he breaks the silence personally and professionally. May this book spur a movement in the church.
Jane Affonso, Chair, South Coast Interfaith Council Justice and Peace Action Team
As we drift toward greater economic inequality and fascism worldwide, with repeated lies and misrepresentation by governments and economic powers, those who cherish the concepts of peace and justice must speak out in many ways. The church is faithful when laity speaks as well as professionals. This is eloquently stated in this book.
E. B. Koschmann, MD
As a person especially concerned about the climate change problem, I appreciated the article Living on this Planet So Others Can Live by Sallie McFague.
Dr. James A. Martin, George Washington University
We need all the encouragement that is to be found in this book. Johnsons compilation of short, powerful essays is a gift and provocation to progressive pastors everywhere. We must straddle the chasm between an expressed congregational need for comfortable optimism and our prophetic urges to confront evil, injustice, and oppression in their many forms.
Rev. Paige Eaves, Board President, Progressive Christians Uniting
Once again, George Johnson has assembled an amazing group of wise and passionate voices who challenge us to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. The variety of topics and short essays makes this an excellent resource for not only individuals but for churches, study groups, and community organizations.
Dave Ellingson, retired professor, pastor, and adventure kayaker
Elie Wiesel famously wrote, What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor but the silence of the bystander. Johnson has taken this admonishment to heart and created a volume of wisdom that will both guide and challenge us as we speak out against the many injustices we face during these difficult times.
Rabbi Stephen J. Einstein, DHL, DD, HaRav Shalom Yaakov ben Shaya, Zalman vZelda, Founding Rabbi Emeritus, Congregation Bnai Tzedek, Fountain Valley, California
A clear and urgent call to action! George Johnson draws on the wisdom of diverse voices to add to his own prophetic voice. Silence Is Not the Answer inspires and empowers us all to explore, discern, and act on the urgent issues facing our world today. With contributions ranging from academia to down-to-earth personal experiences, every reader will be touched and moved to action by this book.
Su Kraus, business owner
There may be cases where silence is resistancelike Jesus refusing to respond to the high priests efforts to trap himbut too often silence is a lack of courage in the face of evil. The good news is that the voices in this book refuse to remain silent, knowing perhaps that the stones would cry out (Luke 19:40) otherwise.
Joerg Rieger, Distinguished Professor of Theology, Vanderbilt University
This book is for all who wish to foster enduring positive change in how we think, speak, act, and feel in matters of the self, others, and the wider world. George Johnson has once again discerned a key theme for our time.
Philip Johnson, PhD, President, Finlandia University
The list of contributors and their topics is all I need to add my voice to the chorus of gratitude for this publication.
Dr. David L. Tiede, President Emeritus, Luther Seminary
Silence Is Not the Answer is a much-needed collective challenge to all American Christians to find their voices and speak out against the divisive and hateful trends of our present day and proclaim a gospel of inclusion, love, justice, and respect for the dignity of all.
Canon Brian J. Grieves, retired Peace and Justice Officer, Episcopal Church
These are superb examinations of the interplay between divine grace and human love of neighbor, especially in arenas of peace and justice.
Charles Lutz, longtime Lutheran advocate for Christian action on peace and justice concerns and advocate in Minnesota for just peace in the Holy Land
Johnson has sent all of us an existential challenge from the twilight of his long and inspiring career. We are reminded that to be true followers of Jesus means to be willing to risk everything, even our own lives, to say loud and clear we will not be silent in the face of injustice.
Howard B. Emery, MD
This book, edited by my friend George Johnson, is an invaluable resource for those activists who want to be inspired, motivated, and nurtured by the experiences and wisdom of others who are in the same struggle for justice, sustainability, and wholeness. The matrix of seeking justice requires us all. Thank you, George.
Mavis Anderson, Senior Associate, Latin America Working Group, Washington, DC
Through the nineteen different authors, the Holy and disturbing Spirit pricked my conscious, touched my heart, aroused my values, and motivated me to add my voice to the chorus of caring and prophetic voices that so desperately need to be heard. In these pages, the passion of the Spirit, the priorities of the Kingdom, and the heart of God are calling us to wake up, speak up, get involved, and pay the price that is required to be faithful in our day.
Howie Wennes, Bishop Emeritus, Grand Canyon Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
