		And it was to the airfield that Bob Edgar was dispatched in the early summer of 1942 while serving with No. 206 Squadron, a unit engaged in the vital task of anti-submarine patrolling.
		Bob was a late arrival in the family, having been long preceded by two sisters, Marjorie and Edythe, who were in their teens when he was born.
		Apparently Bob's financial affairs were speedily straightened out and for the remainder of their week-long sojourn in Halifax they could afford Douglas' stay in a rooming house while he bedded down at the Y Depot.

	NCC head says children leverage political aim - 2/21/2000
		LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Robert W. "Bob" Edgar, the new general secretary of the National Council of Churches, says the NCC has developed a new theme for its national ministry – children, as in Elian Gonzalez, the 6-year-old Cuban boy whose mother drowned while trying to bring her son to the United States.
		Edgar and his predecessor, Joan Brown Campbell, were both involved in the NCC's publicity venture to muster support for the return of the boy to his father in Cuba.
		Edgar was asked whether that invitation was an indication that Castro wanted to use the NCC to its advantage in leveraging political concessions from the U.S. He said the trip proved that the U.S. and Cuba could cooperate.

	The Seattle Times: Living: National Council of Churches getting up to speed
		The Rev. Bob Edgar knows the rap on religious liberals and moderates in general and on his group — the National Council of Churches — in particular.
		Edgar, 61, is general secretary of the National Council of Churches (NCC), a 54-year-old umbrella organization of 36 Protestant denominations.
		Edgar, a pastor since age 19, says his passion stems from biblical verses exhorting the faithful to care for the Earth and the poor — "the least of these our brothers and sisters." Those clear injunctions, he says, are often missing from recent post-election talk about what constitutes biblical moral values.

	NCC leader says 'progressives' have their work cut out for them - 11/17/04
		Edgar, who is a former Democratic member of the U.S. Congress and an ordained United Methodist minister, lamented the success of the "religious right" in claiming "morality" and "values" for themselves.
		Edgar said he "thanked God" that U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, against whom he ran for Senate in 1986 in Pennsylvania, is in line to chair the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
		Boasting of his role in that, Edgar did not mention the millions in Southeast Asia who were thereafter killed, detained, forced into exile or impoverished by their new communist rulers.

	Insight on the News: Edgar Politicizes the Social Gospel - former Democratic legislator Bob Edgar
		An ordained United Methodist elder, Edgar was the first Democrat in 120 years to be elected to Congress from his highly Republican Pennsylvania district as a result of the reaction to Watergate in 1974.
		Edgar replaced Joan Brown Campbell, who departed her second consecutive term as general secretary a year early and left him an unwieldy administrative structure, no cash reserves, $4 million in debt and some very skittish groups among its 35 Protestant and Orthodox member communions and denominations.
		Alongside Edgar as he hears this question, of course, is that other former Democratic Party congressman Andrew Jackson Young, who took office as president last fall for a two-year term.

		You might have thought that the rationalizations of Bob and his fellow general secretaries were resilient enough to allow for the observation that the international police, whatever you conceive them to be, have been as ineffective as the American INS when it comes to apprehending known terrorists.
		Perhaps the Reverend Bob believes the existence of Interpol and the World Court means we are already at this stage in the development of world politics.
		I know nothing of the Reverend Bob Edgar, and have no reason to believe that his advocacy of international policing indicates anything more nefarious than the general disconnect with reality suffered by clerics of all denominations.
