Marty Webb has spent the last 6 months in Sri Lanka with his wife, Rita, where she's been serving the Nonviolent Peaceforce since 2003. Marty, raised Catholic, was refused CO status during the Vietnam War, and ended up convicted for refusing induction.
Marty's experience in confronting the draft, and the alternate service he ended up performing, became a turning point in his life. He eventually ended up in Eau Claire, got first an undergraduate degree in Philosophy, then an MA in Religion and Theology, though Marty dislikes labels and the tendency to categorize people and their beliefs. Marty has attended the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Eau Claire since about 1990 and has taught ethics courses at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire.
Contributions to the work Marty and Rita are doing in Sri Lanka can be deposited at any Royal Credit Union branch to the LINK Foundation.
