| When the War in Iraq began Dr. Huff wrote his students a letter that expressed his view of its being a morally illegitimate war of aggression against one of the world’s weakest nations. He asked the students not to think of the war as just another current event, but to do the thinking and reflection that colleges and universities are created to facilitate—especially church related colleges. As an act of protest and repentance he made a vow of silence in his classroom for 1 week. Students were still to do their assignments or they could join him in seated silent meditation. | The Ralph
Waldo Emerson Award is given by All Souls Unitarian Universalist
church to the individual or group that most furthers the cause
of liberal religion in the Shreveport / Bossier community.
