Why Religion Matters - And How To Talk About It

BY KRISTA TIPPETT
The host of public radio's Speaking of Faith explores the role of faith in the world and in human life today. Tippett draws on her life experiences and studies, as well as on conversations with Quaker Parker Palmer, Elie Wiesel, Karen Armstrong, Thich Nhat Hanh, and other renowned figures, to explore such complex subjects as belief, justice, science, evil, and love. Her way of speaking and listening about these complex subjects both illuminates them and defuses the many conflicts that surround them.

Speaking Treason Fluently

Anti-racist Reflections From An Angry White Male

BY TIM WISE
In this highly anticipated follow-up to White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, activist Tim Wise examines the way in which institutional racism continues to shape the contours of daily life in the United States, and the ways in which white Americans reap enormous privileges from it. The essays included in this collection span the last ten years of Wise's writing and cover all the hottest racial topics of the past decade: affirmative action, Hurricane Katrina, racial tension in the wake of the Duke lacrosse scandal, white school shootings, racial profiling, phony racial unity in the wake of 9/11, and the political rise of Barack Obama.

Special Education As A Spiritual Journey

Php #390

BY MICHAEL RESMAN
How are we to understand God in a world where children suffer from devastating disabilities? And how are we to live meaningfully in such a world? Michael Resman, who works in special education as an occupational therapist, has had much occasion to grapple with such questions. The answers he found for himself come not from church teachings, nor from his own reasonings, but from mystical insight, or as early Friends would say, from spiritual "openings." Many early Friends wrote accounts of "God's dealings" with them, in the hope that their journals would prove useful to others. This is such an account.

The Spell Of The Sensuous

Perception And Language In A More-than-human World

BY DAVID ABRAMS
Elegant in exposition, vast in implication, this groundbreaking work of ecological philosophy compellingly argues the necessity for restoring humanity's lost connections with the sensuous world. Drawing on disciplines as diverse as phenomenology and sleight-of-hand magic, Abram explains how the processes readers think of as "mental" actually derive from a deeply physical interaction with the rest of nature.

The Spiral Staircase

My Climb Out Of Darkness

BY KAREN ARMSTRONG
"If it were simply a narrative of a life resolving itself into extraordinary achievement, The Spiral Staircase would be enough. But it also portrays lyrically the tender relationship with her young autistic friend, Jacob; her adventures in the Holy Land; and her discovery at last, while writing A History of God, that theology could speak to her, as poetry does, in silence.. Armstrong's own understanding of God, with which she concludes, may not be for everyone. But those who believe the world needs `not belief, not certainty, but compassionate action,' will find here words to live by."-The United Church Observer

Spirit-led Eldering

Integral To Our Faith And Practice - Php 392

BY MARGERY MEARS LARRABEE
Eldering is a process of assisting one another, from a centered place, to stay true and faithful to the Spirit in all aspects of our lives. Eldering is a component in the life of a spiritual community that was well known among early Friends, came to be misunderstood, and to a great extent has fallen out of practice. Today Margery Mears Larrabee, author of this essay, and other Friends are urging us to rediscover eldering as a valuable practice that can nurture the spiritual lives of individual Friends and of Friends' meetings. Decades of experience, wisdom, and deep reflection are contained in these pages.

Spirited Engagement

Stories Of The American Friends Service Committee

BY DAVID GOODMAN AND NIGEL NOBLE
AFSC was founded in 1917 during World War I. In accordance with their Quaker faith, the new organization gave young conscientious objectors ways to serve without enlisting in the military or taking lives. They drove ambulances, ministered to the wounded and stayed on in Europe after the armistice to rebuild war-ravaged communities. Today all over the world and in America itself in collaboration with local communities and neighborhoods, AFSC's programs foster understanding and reconciliation, promote economic development and food security, educate the public on issues such as nuclear disarmament and the realities of military service, and people take charge of their own destinies.

She became a Quaker in 1996 after attending meeting for the previous 12 years, and Quakerism and its relation to her pantheism is the major part of her spiritual journey. A wonderful mix of nature, Quakerism and spiritual awareness of our numinous universe.
