Our Journey is a first hand account of two remarkable people and
their adventures around the world. Bill and Lucy Dougall spent
sabbatical years living on nearly every continent around the globe,
as well as hiking, climbing and exploring together over the course
of six decades.
Lucy Dougall's award winning poetry has been featured in numerous
publications. She has traveled extensively and spent sabbatical
years on nearly every continent. Hiking the wilderness beaches of
the Pacific Northwest has given Lucy Dougall a deep appreciation
for the outdoors. Her poetry reflects this connection to the
natural world, as well as well as her love of family and faith in
the human community.

Council. Hiking the wilderness beaches and coastal mountains of the
Pacific Northwest, where she has lived for over 50 years, has given

Pacifist Warrior introduces Robert Pickus, his leadership role in
the pacifist community (1951-2016), and his thoughtful work to
constructively engage the United States in world politics. He
called for leadership by the United States to move a
conflict-filled world towards peace through non-military
initiatives, designed to gain the reciprocation of allies and
dedicated adversaries alike. Robert Pickus earned the title
"Pacifist Warrior" because he not only believed pacifism in a
nuclear age was a moral imperative, it was also a more effective
strategy towards a world without war. Pickus' career lasted from
1951 to 2016. As Director of the World Without War Council office
in Berkeley, he engaged civic, labor, business, and religious
organizations to work for a world without war. He worked at the
juncture where advocates of war-as-a-last-resort met community
peace advocates to develop non-military alternatives to war. His
signature contribution was a compendium of American Peace
Initiatives developed with other key leaders, including George
Weigel, Harold Guetzkow, Sidney Hook and Ted Sorensen. During his
tenure, the WWWC developed a strategy of American peace initiatives
to get from here to a world without war. The ideas of
reciprocation, universal participation and non-violent change apply
to both arms control and disarmament as well as climate change.
