Document. 12-page essay written by Gordon with a letter to the editor of AMERICA attached asking them to publish or return it, and telling them that Gordon directed a PhD dissertation on the topic of selective obedience and the author may be interested in writing an article about it. ~ Gordon uses the example of Jaegerstaetter to point out the value of individual witness, saying that although he supports and participates in movements, they should not be allowed to replace individual efforts based on deep and personal moral commitment. He goes on to discuss the impact that Jaegerstaetter and other solitary witnesses have had on the lives of others. Gordon draws parallels between the situation in Indochina and the need for individuals in the church to stand up as Jaegerstaetter did.
