Summary
These quotes and excerpts from works by William Sloane Coffin-the minister, peace activist, social crusader, and author of THE HEART IS A LITTLE TO THE LEFT: ESSAYS ON PUBLIC MORALITY-provide a vivid portrait of the man and his beliefs. Coffin's unique ability is to mix a Christian spirit with his fight for social justice, and this work demonstrates that talent with excerpts from his sermons and speeches. The works are organized into categories, for example "Social Justice and Economic Rights" and "Patriotism." James Carroll wrote the introduction.

Publisher's Notes
William Sloane Coffin has long fought for social justice and argued that faith must be at the heart of political and intellectual life. Now, Coffin gives this record of his remarkable public life, offering his inspiring words on issues ranging from charity and justice, politics, economic issues, the environment, nuclear disarmament, and mortality to the meaning of faith, the church, and a pastor's responsibility. These brief quotations and excerpts demonstrate the wit, fire, and passion he brought to the task of preaching and the moral commitment he has made to change the world. William Sloane Coffin served as chaplain of Yale University and Williams College, was senior minister of Riverside Church, and is President Emeritus of SANE/FREEZE: Campaign for Global Security. He became famous while at Yale in the 1960s for his opposition to the Vietnam War. He was jailed as a civil rights "Freedom Rider," indicted by the government in the Benjamin Spock conspiracy trial, and has been immortalized as Rev. Sloan in the Doonesbury comic strip. He continues his activism today on behalf of nuclear disarmament. Both Union Theological Seminary in New York and Yale University have established scholarships in his honor. James Carroll is the author of AN AMERICAN REQUIEM, for which he won the National Book Award, as well as the author of many novels, including THE CITY BELOW, MORTAL FRIENDS, and SECRET FATHER.
