Towards A Theological Ethics Of Communication
BY RACHEL MUERS The British Quaker theologians 800,000 word PhD thesis on Silence. This is indeed written in very dense theological language, based on three themes, Feminist philosophical reflection on silence, a reading of Bonheoffer's ethics and the author's life as a Quaker. She tellingly quotes Gemma Fiumara paraphrasing Wittgenstein "Only when we know how to be silent will that of which we cannot speak begin to tell us something". The central theological claim explored in the book is that God listens, and that God's listening is integral to who God is.

Spirit-led Quaker Action Php 404
BY JACK KIRK Jack Kirk discusses how a concern, a need to act, help or respond to a situation arises, how it opens to us, how we may test them, and how we may find in them a center of spiritual gravity for our lives. How do we discover our callings as individuals, and what is our calling as a community of Friends? When we have a concern how do we know whether that yearning comes from our own feeling of urgency or obligation, or whether it is something more something that the Holy Spirit is asking of us? Discussion questions included.

Christianity Not As A Mystic Religion But As A New Theory Of Life
BY LEO TOLSTOY, TRANSLATED BY CONSTANCE GARNETT, FOREWARD BY MARTIN GREEN This book reveals Tolstoy's world outlook after his conversion to Christianity. He argues that the kingdom of God is within reach of all. The core of the book deals with his nonresistance to evil, a principle Tolstoy passionately advocated. Tolstoy was influenced by his correspondence with Quakers. Gandhi was won over by this book. Tolstoy clearly describes the hazards that bullying governments and false beliefs produced. Tolstoy calls on Christians to remember that the only guide for their actions is to be found in the divine principle dwelling within them, which cannot be checked or governed by anyone or anything else.

BY ERIK AND LEONORE BLEGVAD In 1892, Rudyard Kipling moves to Dummerston, and everything changes for young Kitty, who lives on a neighboring farm. She realizes she will never again meet such an interesting man as he tells her all about India and his stories of a boy named Mowgli. She teaches him about the strange ways of Vermonters. How two very different people from different parts of the world became friends and adventurers of the imagination is the heart of this charming tale for readers 8 to 11. Based on true events, and illustrated with occasional drawings, it celebrates the power of stories and how friends can see things in one another that others might never know.

The 2007 Jonathan Plummer Lecture
BY MARGARET KATRANIDES "I want to talk to you today about the ineffable. To describe the indescribable. I truly don't know what I'm supposed to be saying to you today, but I'll start with knowing and not knowing. We are born wanting to know. Watch a baby looking at the world, and you will see an intensity, a passion to know. Look inside yourself; when we are aware of not knowing, there's a tension, that is released when we come to know."

Selected Writings Of Isaac Penington In Their Historical And Theological Context
SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY MELVIN KEISER AND ROSEMARY MOORE Isaac Penington's writings provide a special insight into the turbulent mid-17th century. In his long struggle for "fullness of life" he produced some of the most profound spiritual counsel in Quaker literature. Part I is Isaac Penington's life in its historical context, through his letters to other Quakers transcribed from manuscript, and Part II presents his spirituality and thought with extracts from published works. With extensive commentary in each part, this is a more comprehensive representation of Penington's writings than ever before, designed to make the manner and substance of his thinking accessible in the 21st century to readers interested in early Quaker thought.

Using Words To Get Beyond Words
BY HARBERT RICE Harbert Rice, former Clerk of Reno Meeting and a practitioner of Nonviolent Communication, has facilitated AVP workshops in Nevada prisons. He has also led "Experiment with Light" groups and is familiar with Gendlin's Focusing that Rex Ambler found so influential in forming Light Groups. Here he brings all these practices and insights together to show how each group uses an experiential language process, and that we can gain a further understanding of personal change and transformation by the cross fertilization of these practices that "use words (or their Absence) to get beyond words." Quaker experience, especially related to George Fox, is a major part of the book.

How Nature Will Take Her Revenge For Climate Change
BY FRED PEARCE Since the last ice age, almost 13,000 years ago, humans have prospered in a stable, predictable climate. But our generation may be the last to be so blessed. Climate change from now on will not be gradual, maintains Pearce - nature doesn't do gradual. In the past, Earths climate switched from Arctic to tropical in three to five years. It can happen again. Nature is not fragile, the truth is the opposite. She is a wild and resourceful beast given to fits of rage.

What The Gospels Really Teach About Jesus' Final Days In Jerusalem
BY MARCUS BORG AND JOHN DOMINIC CROSSAN As both authors reacted to and responded to questions about Mel Gibson's blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, they discovered that many Christians are unclear on the details of events during the week leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Using the gospel of Mark as their guide, Borg and Crossan present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem. The first entry, that of Roman governor Pontius Pilate leading Roman soldiers into the city, symbolized military strength. The second heralded a new kind of moral hero who was praised by the people as he rode in on a humble donkey.

The Journal And Selected Writings Of Sandra L. Cronk
BY SANDRA CRONK, EDITED BY MARTHA PAXSON GRUNDY, FOREWORD BY PARKER PALMER A Lasting Gift records the life and faith of Sandra (Sonnie) L. Cronk, Quaker author, teacher, and spiritual guide. A gifted storyteller, Sonnie's journals reveal a deep love of God and religion from childhood on. We find times of consolation, a clear sense of leading and knowledge of accompaniment, as well as times of questioning, resistance, darkness and doubt. She does not hesitate to critique where others (including Quakers) fall short in living and supporting one another in a God-centered life, in which she learned that "no circumstance could separate me from God." Listening, obedience, and community are major themes in the selections of published writings included here.

Humor And The Spiritual Journey
BY HOWARD MACY Humor floods our lives. We use it to entertain, to reduce stress and promote health, to smooth social interactions (or to make people bristle), to sell products of all kinds, to persuade about ideas, and much more. Humor is an important and often overlooked part of the spiritual life. Humor skills can be learned so, in an accessible and funny way, Laughing Pilgrims: Humor and the Spiritual Journey aims to teach readers effective skills for interpreting and creating humor in their daily lives. Whether it is a 'spiritual gift' or 'spiritual discipline' humor (and its distortions) can powerfully reveal and shape our spiritual development.
