Eulogy: William Sloane Coffin

A liberal icon, I guess.

Remembering William Sloane Coffin
by Jim Wallis 4-20-2006
Rev. William Sloane Coffin was likely the most influential liberal Protestant clergyman and leader of his generation. One of the first white men to go South and be arrested in the civil rights movement, one of the first church leaders to dissent from the Vietnam War, one of the first moral voices against the nuclear arms race, Bill was a prophetic voice of Christian conscience to both church and state for many decades.
