Benjamin Cerniglia is a Marine corporal at Camp Pendleton in California, awaiting orders to ship out at any time; his brother Joseph, 18, is a college student in Greensboro, N.C., and an avowed pacifist.

Serving as a shelter for abused youngsters, it is a colorful, even humorous place with tilted windows, a welcoming canopy, children's handprints in the concrete, and a tractor tire swing. And on a nearby farm in Sawyerville, it built Yancey Chapel. The church rests on a ridge in the woods and is made from discarded tires and old timber as well as slate dredged from a creek.
