These are autobiographical reflections of one who, living through much of the twentieth century, providentially found his own life influenced by interaction with the five persons profiled. In a century that began optimistically as "the Christian century" but ended in the judgment of Bishop Spong's book title, Christianity Must Change or Die, these five persons bore witness to a different kind of Christianity, one that reached beyond the limitations of the institutional church and reclaimed a more authentic following of Christ.This work pays tribute to the moral capacity of mankind. In a century obsessed with man's inhumanity to man, these five persons were unanimous in their appeal to freedom of conscience and their total risk of personal benefit in order to shape the course of history for the betterment of all.
