Life-Net Radio Online #510
An Irish Poet and an Immigration Activist
+-+-+-+-+-+
Long-time LNR regular Ken Heard returns with
material recorded at Brandywine Peace Community
events:
* Peter Pedemonti, co-director of the New
Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia, is a
community member of the House of Grace Catholic
Worker. The House of Grace operates a free
medical clinic and house of hospitality in
Kensington, and it works on issues of peace and
justice. The speech excerpt here comes from a
program that was billed as something that "will
separate the reality of immigration and the
rising tide of arrests and deportations from the
anti-immigrant rhetoric of fear and hatred."
* Father John McNamee, much-revered urban
priest, author, poet, and activist. Author of
the book Diary of a City Priest (and the subject
of the movie of the same name) and a number of
volumes of poetry. Recently retired after
twenty-five years as pastor of St Malachy's
Roman Catholic Church in North Philadelphia. In
this excerpt he introduces and reads an
excellent poem.

Thank goodness my dude adviced to take the loan at trustworthy creditors. Thus, I acted that and used to be satisfied with my auto loan.
