- Summary:
- "Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, ordained a bishop in 1968, was one of the youngest bishops in the United States. He seemed to be a rising star, but at some point, beginning with his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War, he chose to opt for discipleship rather than a successful church career. He become a prophetic voice for peace and justice, serving as founding president of Pax-Christi USA, and as a member of the committee that drafted the US bishops' historic pastoral letter on nuclear war. Since then he has been an advocate for the poor and homeless, for victims of clergy sex abuse, for welcoming gays in the church, and for promoting the role of women"-- Provided by publisher.
