Eye In The Door

BY PAT BARKER
Pat Barker returns to the World War I era with The Eye in the Door, winner of the Guardian Fiction Prize for 1993. It is the spring of 1918. On the battlefields of France, a mammoth German offensive threatens the English army with defeat. In England itself, a beleaguered government and panic-stricken, vengeful public seek scapegoats. Two groups are targeted for persecution and prosecution: pacifists and homosexuals. Many are jailed, others lead dangerous double lives; and "the eye in the door" becomes a symbol of the paranoia that threatens to destroy the very fabric of British society.

Faith And Practice Of Intermountain Yearly Meeting

FROM INTERMOUNTAIN YEARLY MEETING
Intermountain Yearly Meeting began in the 1960s, as a fellowship of Friends. In 1974, it became a yearly meeting. Because it developed independently, it had no Faith and Practice to guide its constituent monthly meetings. This present version, in response to the changes that have occurred over time, attempts to describe Intermountain Yearly Meeting and the Society of Friends both as we were and as we are now. "Our Faith and Practice reminds us of what joins us in the Spirit despite the great variety of ways Friends experience and express that Spirit moving in, through, and among us in the world".

Faith In Action

Quaker Social Testimony

ESSAYS BY JONATHAN DALE AND OTHERS
Where do we stand on lived witness, on social testimony? Both in the essay by Jonathan Dale and the short contributions from many Friends, we get a glimpse at other people's experience of the living truth. As Jonathan Dale says, "The more the Light is followed, the deeper the joy and the readier we may be for the next step." This book will inspire readers to think about how we live out our testimonies in our lives, develop a culture of mutual accountability, and share the lessons from our journeys. When we say God is love, the integrity of our claim is known by the degree to which it is lived out in our lives.
