Though I don't have specific readings to suggest right now, maybe
here's a source: John Nichols' "Against the Beast" is a remarkable
collection of anti-imperial, pro-peace, etc. speeches, writings
and commentary.   Though all relate to the US, they do span colonial
times to the present.  Worth re-reading at least annually (I need
to dig up my copy!) and definitely worth quoting.   Will write again
if I find some to recommend.

Where will the "Religious Voices for Peace" event be held?
