To involve the Cornell University and Ithaca communities in an upcoming celebration of peace activism that includes a visit by the Rev. Daniel Berrigan, the Center for Religion, Ethics and Social Policy (CRESP) at Cornell is calling for submissions of art, personal essays and photographs. The works will be displayed on campus Sept. 19-21, and some will be selected for publication. The Celebrating Peace Activism weekend will reflect on the work of noted activist Berrigan and the late Rev. Jack Lewis, who led Cornell United Religious Work during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The weekend's events, in addition to the exhibition, will include a sermon and a presentation on campus by Berrigan, a music festival with local and nationally known musicians and a round-table debate on the roles of direct action and voting in political discourse.
