THE VIEW FROM OUTSIDE
"The view from outside. . . . that's
what most articles in this issue . . .
explore."

enough to / Ground the eagle. . . ."
POETRY
BY W. N. RICHARDSON

mud from / the creek to fashion nests
built high in the / peak of my barn. . .
."

AN AMERICAN SICKNESS AS
VIEWED FROM VIETNAM
Renee Gehman
"How is gun culture any more
civilized than a
shampooing-on-the-sidewalks-and-getting-sick-from-unsanitary-food
culture?"
SHAKEN
IN MY SENSE OF WHAT IS RIGHT
Katelyn I. King
"One of the people here I've become
close to said to me, 'I always ask
myself, when will I see her again? . . .
Will it be in this life, or will I have
to wait until we get to heaven?'"
Kingsview
WELILE AND MORE FLY INTO
THE NEST
Michael A. King
"Others who have experienced it will
recognize what had happened: In Welile's
culture, her family was our family, and
our family theirs."
STEPPIN'
UP TO THE LINE
Polly Ann Brown
"'Freedom Writers' makes clear that
justice and peace are harvested from
seeds sown in those places where I and
Thou meet. . . ."
WHY
I AM A MENNONITE FARMER
William Dellinger
"War and violence are the systemic
goldfish bowl of water we all swim in. My
best escape, I thought, my best choice,
was to live in rural isolation, and to
farm."
KURT
VONNEGUT AMONG THE ICONOCLASTS: ABRAHAM,
ERASMUS, ANABAPTISTS, AND ATHEISTS
Kent Davis Sensenig
"I believe Vonnegut was attracted to
Jesus-most of what he stood for resonates
with Jesus' Way."
The Turquoise
Pen
JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME
Noël R. King
"'Oy,' I said to my best friend of
old. 'We're STILL imaginary friends, I
see.'"
A
MENNONITE POLICE CHIEF
Truman H. Brunk
"He promised that, although he would
have to carry a gun, he would never point
it toward a human being."
Beneath the
Skyline
BEING QUIET
Deborah Good
"This is more quiet than I have ever
known."
Reel
Reflections
"SPIDERMAN 3":
GRACE-FULLY FLAWED
Dave Greiser
"Just like flawed human beings, this
film contains the unmistakable mark of
One who cannot, finally, be hidden."

PEACEMAKING-THE WALK AND
THE TALK: REVIEWS OF
SMOKE JUMPING ON THE
WESTERN FIRE LINE,
A PRECARIOUS PEACE, AND
THE FRAGMENTATION OF THE CHURCH AND ITS
UNITY IN PEACEMAKING
Daniel Hertzler
"We learn that it was not until
decades later, in 1981, that a woman was
finally permitted to jump on fires."
