Moral Re-Armament: Great ideas gone awry

What this episode covers

OK, we are reaching way, way back into the vault for this one. It was recorded & aired in 2001. Martin Morris led a very fascinating life, & part of it was spent as part of a worldwide movement called Moral Re-Armament. To some it was a beacon of liberty, spiritual revival & almost utopian ideals. But to others it grew into what many describe as a cult. To those who know Michigan at all, it was headquartered on Mackinac Island. A good friend of mine was a member since childhood, & was deeply scarred from the experience. Our guest Morris fared much better. It's a great show, but I must warn you that the fidelity is especially poor. Remember, this was transferred from a cassette tape that is almost 20 years old. So be patient & enjoy! Our guest died in 2007. I never met him, but he sounded like a delightful man.
