JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters

From Wikipedia:

Jim Douglass and Shelley Douglass are American activists. Jim proposes that the Sermon on the Mount is to be taken as literal teaching.

He sees Jesus' words as the example to follow. He himself has done some civil disobedience acts.

Jim and Shelley founded Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action and founded in 1975 the Pacific Life Community "a small intentional community committed to resisting the coming of Trident to the Pacific Northwest." and "...committed itself to "seek the truth of a nonviolent way of life," both personally and politically. Personally we tried to confront our racism, sexism, consumerism - all the isms that allowed us to violate others. Politically, we chose to experiment with nonviolent actions resisting Trident, a system that seemed to epitomize all the violence of our society. In 1975, the homeport for Trident was under construction at Bangor on the Hood Canal in Washington State" [1]

This nonviolent protest then extended to protesting the White Train which carried nuclear parts to Naval Base Kitsap.

In 1997 Douglass was awarded the Pacem in Terris Award. It was named after a 1963 encyclical letter by Pope John XXIII that calls upon all people of good will to secure peace among all nations. Pacem in Terris is Latin for 'Peace on Earth.'
