Diplomacy
Diplomatie, renseignement et plaidoyer
I have over 30 years of human rights advocacy experience. I’m a Confirmed Episcopalian (Age 8) and was honored with a “Sir” (Not Knighted) for my services to the church. My Great-Great Aunt Delilah W. Pierce was the one who presented it to me. Saint Mary’s and the Episcopal church advocated with success to have the UN Charter ratified. My Bishop at the time for the Diocese of Washington was Bishop John Burgess My faith is deeply tied to my legacy and life-long work in human rights advocacy and diplomacy as it challenges the status quo and seeks to create opportunities for upholding an equitable society for rural and urban communities. Faith is commanded to be a reflection of an equitable society not a hindrance! Many people feel faith is weaponized to oppress and marginalize communities and societies for profit or personal gain. Although, empirical evidence suggests humans have used faith to kill civilizations, cultures, and economies. More evidence expresses faith as the critical component for all societal foundations, as well as for creating a well-informed and just society.
