Here's a useful example of chains of inspiration, used and posted by one faculty member

Early 1970’s: 

A teen-aged girl asks her father, Lockheed engineer Robert Aldridge, “How can you work on these terrible weapons? (the Polaris and Poseidon missals)”

Aldridge rationalizes, reflects, and then resigns from his job. 

A Catholic theologian, Jim Douglass, hears Aldridge give a speech against the weapons.  He establishes a peace community next to Washington State’s Trident submarine base.

Douglass is jailed for civil disobedience. Seattle archbishop, Raymond Hunthausen, visits him and celebrates mass.

Hunthausen is appalled by the Trident’s deadly potential. He withholds half of his federal income taxes in protest and calls the base “the Auschwitz of Puget Sound.”

Other bishops join Hunthausen to move the U.S. Catholic Congress to make a statement condemning the nuclear arms race.

The official statement sparks study and debate in parishes throughout the nation.

The tone is set for the end of the Cold War.
