ABSTRACT
The national Freeze Campaign supported local groups and assisted in getting groups started in other states. At one point, a Catholic expert on ethics and international relations, Bryan Hehir, remarked that there were more 'Freeze groups than post offices' around the country. Randy Kehler, executive director of the national Freeze Campaign, was not only good at organizational work but sensitive relationally. Before the Freeze Campaign got under way, three Episcopal priests in Louisville attended an Episcopalian Urban Ministry Conference and were fired up by an address in which the Rev. George Regas of All Saints Church in Pasadena presented the challenge of reversing the arms race. Many dedicated people spoke out because of their faith to other church members in an informed way with a viable proposal, the Freeze. Including the Euromissiles in the Freeze, not only made conceptual sense, but linked the US Freeze campaign to the European antinuclear groups.
