Turning Weapons of War into Tools of Peace. A series that explores active engage- ment, ingenuity, civil disobedience and non-violence. Episode 1: Outlaw and under- ground: a question of habit. They will turn their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks; the nations will no longer raise swords against the na- tions or learn war.

In 1970, the brothers were sentenced to prison terms of up to three years. Father Dan fled.
