He made great contributions in the fields of interreligious dialogue and understanding, as well as disarmament and human rights. He died in 2015. “And to be human is to be in peace—to be fully ourselves and to be open to others with the compassion which seeks the well-being which we share with them as something not to be grasped but to be offered and received.” From Dr. Potter’s acceptance speech
