First Things editor R. R. Reno, veteran civil rights activist John M. Perkins, Professor Robert P. George of Princeton University, and others gathered at the Union League Club in New York City to honor the life of Plough author Johann Christoph Arnold, who died earlier this year.

Arnold, who led the Bruderhof Communities for two decades, was a pastor, author, and tireless worker for peace, reconciliation, and justice. His work has had a profound impact; he is respected across the political spectrum as reflected in the speakers who gathered to discuss his legacy.
