I have written on this site a great deal about pacifist heroes of the past. Ward Morehouse is a pacifist hero whom I was lucky enough to have worked with.
Even in our corporatized culture, there are still many people to act as guideposts for how to live a life, they are just not publicized. Ward Morehouse is definitely one of those Great people. And I just found recently that we lost him.
I met Ward in the late 1990’s through <a title=”The Other Economic summit” href=”http://www.toes-usa.org/” target=”_blank”>The Other Economic Summit North America </a>(TOES). He was the Chair TOES NA. Before there was Occupy or even the Battle of Seattle, there was TOES. They would shadow the G8 summit, and put on a conference high-lighting a humane vision of the planet’s economy. Ward was so much more than an academic, he was a visionary, leader, teacher, publisher, and activist. The obituary below describes him better than I could.
