Answering The Violence

Encounters With Perpetrators

BY JOHN LAMPEN

Brief Description:
As a People committed to peace, Friends have nonetheless, from time to time, sought to build close relationships with perpetrators of violence, groups and individuals who may be thought to be "beyond the pale" - dictators and terrorists . Why? What part do such relationships play in efforts to end differences and build peace in troubled situations? John Lampen, who has served as a Quaker peace worker in N Ireland and elsewhere, draws on his own experiences and the accounts of other peace workers to explore the controversies, risks, rewards, and possible benefits of reaching out in friendship to perpetrators of violence.
