Traffic Light: An On-site Account of the 2003 Iraq… di Neville Watson
During the 2003 Iraq war I emailed portions of my journal home as the easiest way to let my family and friends know what I was doing and where I was at. Unbeknown to me Bern and my wife Margaret arranged for the publication of some of it in a popular weekly magazine (in Australia). Leanne used the articles as a means of explaining what her father was doing in Baghdad during the war. Said Leanne, “All one has to do is give it to someone to read and they get a good grasp of what you are about.
from the text: "Born in 1929, Neville Watson was in 1956 admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Western Australia. Six years later he was ordained as a Minister of the Methodist Church but kept his practice certificate current. After some years in parish ministry, he applied 'to be left without pastoral charge with permission to engage in secular employment'.
He returned to the legal scene and was engaged in extensive pro bono work for aboriginal people and in social justice issues. In the 1960s he established and ran a lay training centre with the primary course being 'The Twentieth Century Christian'.
He has had a long association with the Church of the Saviour in Washington and attributes much of his social activism to their emphasis on 'Call, Gifts and Contemplation'
In 1990 he was part of the Gulf Peace Team that endeavoured to place itself between the opposing forces. His peace activism has led him to being arrested 'more times than he can remember' and taken him to war zones in Palestine and Bosnia.
In 2002 he linked up with the Iraq Peace Team and spent four months in Iraq prior to and including the war.
He regards journaling as 'therapeutic' and has engaged in it for over twenty years."… (altro)
