More Brethren history shared by Kristin Flory, long-time staff for Brethren Volunteer Service in Europe:
"This is about Brethren peacemaker M. R. Zigler, interviewed not long before his death. (It's a little odd that Ken Morse's picture comes up on the cover.)

At minute 13:54 you can hear ex-BVS director Chuck Boyer talking about M.R., saying 'he was so good at taking people who maybe had some ability, but weren't in positions of leadership, and giving them leadership. He was always so proud of the fact that Brethren volunteers in Europe were often solid young people, not highly trained, not highly skilled, and they just did miraculous things. M.R. would sometimes laugh and say that they did something because they were too dumb to know they couldn't do it! Those things delighted him, to take a person and stretch and see them grow. That's why he was most loved.'

A few others following that talk about M.R.'s lone-ranger style... And that he once spoke to a gathering of volunteers in Europe, almost berating them that they 'do things and start projects and don't ask permission and travel without permission so much on your own... But that if you weren't those kind of people, we wouldn't want you here!'"

M R Zigler: Portrait of Peacemaker This is a documentary produced in the mid 1980's by David Sollenberger for an M. J. thesis for Temple University. It includes an extensive interview with hi...

He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.
