This episode is “Father David Gierlach - Priest for Peace”.
Father Gierlach, originally from upstate NY but now based in Hawaii, was a sucessful attorney for many years, but then chose to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a priest.
Unlike most members of the clergy, who go along to get along even if that means ignoring or even supporting war and genocide, Father Gierlach has been outspoken in his insistence that the church must build the beloved community, one based on peace and respect for human rights.
Father Gierlach was interviewed by longtime peace activist and civil resister Jack Gilroy on December 16, 2025.

French Seduction: An American’s Encounter with France, Her Father, and the Holocaust.
In a passionate blend of autobiography and cultural history, love, sex and art collide with hatred, withering French xenophobia and death, Eunice Lipton, our guest in this edition of Radio Curious, describes her book, “French Seduction: An American’s Encounter with France, Her Father, and the Holocaust.” Lipton, who lives in Paris and New York received her Ph.D. in art history at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. I spoke with her from her home in New York City the last week of March 2007. Because she describes painting as her favorite companions, we began when I asked her to tell us about her friends who she calls art.
Eunice Lipton recommends “The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion,” by Ford Madox Ford.
