On August 25, 2025, on The Nonviolent Jesus Podcast, a production of the Beatitudes Center, Fr. John Dear speaks with Ken Butigan, author, organizer, activist, speaker, nonviolence trainer and a leader of Pace e Bene, a Franciscan-based peace organization.
Ken Butigan also serves as Senior Advisor to the Catholic Institute for Nonviolence and the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative.
Hosted by Fr. John Dear, Pax Christi USA Ambassador of Peace and a longtime friend and supporter of our Catholic Nonviolence Initiative, this episode explores Ken’s spiritual awakening as a young man and how it transformed the course of his life.
“We have been preparing for this moment,” Ken said. “We have more power than we think! We need each other, we need to be rooted in prayer, we need to follow the nonviolent Jesus and create conditions for a global shift.“
