The Tendering Presence

Essays On John Woolman

EDITED BY MIKE HELLER
John Woolman (1720-1772), a Quaker social reformer, called the Religious Society of Friends to stand in a corporate testimony against slavery and its economic injustice. His call arose from his ongoing experience of the tendering presence of God and was exemplified by a faith and social witness that stands today to help heal the ills of war, poverty and environmental destruction. In this volume, nineteen scholars offer insightful essays on John Woolman's spirituality, his historical context, and his influence on contemporary issues of oppression, social change and education. This volume was created as an honor to Phillips Moulton and Sterling Olmsted and an essay by each is included.

A Testament Of Devotion

BY THOMAS KELLY
"I have in mind something deeper than the simplification of our external programs, our absurdly crowded calendars of appointments through which so many pantingly and frantically gasp. These do become simplified in holy obedience, and the poise and peace we have been missing can really be found. But there is a deeper, an internal simplification of the whole of one's personality, stilled, tranquil, in childlike trust listening ever to Eternity's whisper, walking with a smile into the dark." Testament of Devotion gathers together five compelling essays that urge us to center our lives on God's presence, to find quiet and stillness within modern life.

The Theory Of Clouds

BY STEPHANE AUDEGUY

As they work, he tells her stories of those who devoted their lives to clouds: the English Quaker who first classified clouds, the painter who became obsessed with painting clouds, and the 19th-century amateur meteorologist Richard Abercrombie, a photographer who may have created the only definitive catalog of clouds-but only one copy exists, and it has never been seen.

These Strange Criminals

An Anthology Of Prison Memoirs By Conscientious Objectors From The Great War To The Cold War

EDITED BY PETER BROCK
This important and thought-provoking anthology consists of thirty prison memoirs by conscientious objectors to military service, centering on their jail experiences either during the first or second world wars or in Cold War America. Voices from history come alive, detailing the impact of prison life and offering unique perspectives on wartime government policies of conscription and imprisonment. Sometimes intensely moving, and often inspiring, these memoirs show that in some cases, individual conscientious objectors sought to reform the penal system from within either by publicizing its dysfunction or through further resistance to authority.

A Work Of Fiction

BY TIM O'BRIEN
Depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and of course, the character Tim O'Brien who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three. They battle the enemy (or maybe more the idea of the enemy) and occasionally each other. In their relationships we see their isolation and loneliness, their rage and fear. They miss their families, their girlfriends and bud dies; they miss the lives they left back home. Yet they find sympathy and kindness for strangers (the old man who leads them unscathed through the mine field, the girl who grieves while she dances), and love for each other.

Towards A Council Of All Beings

This book of readings, meditations, rituals and workshop notes prepared on three continents helps us remember that environmental defence is nothing less than 'Self' defence. Including magnificent illustrations of Australia's rainforests, 'Thinking Like a Mountain' provides a context for ritual identification with the natural environment. It helps us experience our place in the web of life -- rather than at the apex of some human-centred pyramid. An important deep ecology educational tool for activist, school and religious groups, it can also be used for personal reflection.

This Fire

Politics, Love And Other Small Miracles

BY JOHN MCCUTCHEON
"... When we gather 'round that fire there's no telling what stories might be told. Songs of love and politics, courage and forgiveness, parody and pathos, somehow they are not unrelated. When I gathered the songs for this collection they captured a small piece of time in a long life of trying hard to pay attention. They seemed to remind me of some small truths I've learned. If hard times can't have humor we won't survive them. If old love doesn't have some memory of youthful passion it, too, will fade. And the many stories of ordinary people responding to ugliness with beauty continue to fascinate and thrill me. Politics, love and other small miracles...all fueled by this same fire."

This Is Our House

BY MICHAEL ROSEN, ILLUSTRATED BY BOB GRAHAM
George has a house made from a big cardboard box, and he says that no one else at the playground can come in. Not Lindy, because George's house "isn't for girls," nor Freddie, because it "isn't for small people." Sophie can't come in because, George says, "This house isn't for people with glasses." But when George leaves his house for a moment, everyone piles in, and on his return, George gets a taste of his own medicine. Aided by Bob Graham's striking illustrations of an urban playground, Michael Rosen tells the tale of a little boy who makes a big discovery -- that letting everyone into his playhouse is a lot more fun than keeping them out.
