One sees it enriched in a network of friends and small groups of kindred spirit. Critically important have been the gateways to service of the Mennonite Central Committee and Goshen College. In Atlee's story one becomes profoundly aware that the Lord of his journey and his companion is Christ, the Prince of Peace. Knowing Atlee as a dear friend and now reading My Journey , I sense that he has brought special gifts to the calling of peacemaking. Like an Old Testament patriarch, he gives blessings wherever he goes.
Enemies become friends.
In him peacemaking is carried on the wings of a psalmist, in the ways of an empathetic listener, in the graces of amity and hospitality.
