Quakers & Nazis

Inner Light In Outer Darkness

BY HANS SCHMITT
Describes Quakers' attempts to mitigate the suffering among not only victims of Nazism but Nazi sympathizers in Austria and Lithuania as well. Virtually all the Berlin Quakers hid Jews during the war and opposed the Nazis even after they lost their jobs and were harassed by the Gestapo. Risking their lives, the Friends persisted in efforts to alleviate suffering. How should a Quaker behave in a meeting for worship with a policeman present? Spies didn't stop Friends in worship from openly criticizing Hitler, but they did imprison some Friends

Quakers And Jews

BY ALLAN KOHRMAN
"Allan Kohrman's pamphlet, `Quakers & Jews,' is primarily focused on Friends response to the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He asserts that Friends organizations, including the AFSC and FUM, are uneven and unfair in their support of Palestine over and against Israel. Allan contends that longstanding systemic and even conscious anti-Semitism underlies the policy stances of these organizations. As we work to assist peoples suffering from the effects of war and injustice, Allan reminds us that the heart of Friends witness is to listen for and respond to `that of God' in all people, on all sides." - Jonathan Vogel-Borne

Quakers In Conflict, The Hicksite Reformation

BY LARRY INGLE
The Hicksite reformation, the single most influential development in American Quaker history, receives its definitive interpretation in this book. Larry Ingle traces the schisms of 1827 and 1828, showing that the conflict was not only over matters of doctrine; it was also a struggle for power within the Society of Friends. Ingle's approach to his subject links the Quaker experience to a question that has always been central to Protestantism: Which has greater authority --the testimony of religious experience or the collective weight of the scriptures and church doctrine? Ingle shows how rural Hicksites resisted Evangelicalism and themselves contributed to modern notions of individualism.

Quakers In The Israeli - Palestinian Conflict

The Dilemmas Of Ngo Humanitarian Activism

BY NANCY GALLAGHER
When war broke out in Palestine in 1948, The UN asked AFSC to provide humanitarian relief to Arab refugees in Gaza. AFSC also sent volunteers to work in Israel, where they hoped to serve both Arabs and Jews. Its goal was repatriation of the refugees and conciliation and coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians. As eyewitnesses to some of the major events of the conflict, the AFSC volunteers came to understand it better than most outsiders at the time. By examining these early efforts at peacemaking and assistance, historian Nancy Gallagher has uncovered essential insights for today's peacemakers, human rights activists, and humanitarian NGOs.

Transforming Our Selves, Our Meetings And The More Than Human World

BY HELEN GOULD
The James Backhouse lecture from 2009. In early Quaker Meetings the expectation was you would really have to literally quake under the "Power of the Lord" to know there was a message that you HAD to deliver from the silence. Helen Gould believes modern friends can still open themselves to this immensely powerful and loving divine energy, and that from it transformation can flow through us to others, in an ever widening spiral.

Quality And Depth Of Worship And Ministry

BY THE COMMITTEE ON ELDERSHIP AND OVERSIGHT OF BRITAIN YEARLY MEETING
Friends would say that meeting for worship is central to their spiritual lives - but what is worship? What does `ministry' mean? How can we talk to each other, sharing our understandings of listening or waiting on God? Meetings can feel shallow, unsatisfying, or deep and transforming. Dare we assess quality and depth? This booklet is a distillation of experience and reflection collected from meetings and offered back in the form of queries. This booklet is an essential guide for every worship and ministry committee.

BY ALFRED MCCOY
Historian Alfred McCoy locates the roots of scandals at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo in a long-standing, covert program of interrogation.

The Questions Of Jesus

Challenging Ourselves To Discover Life's Great Answers

BY JOHN DEAR
The Gospels are filled with stories that trace Jesus' life and his teachings. A close reading reveals that they are also filled with questions. Like any great teacher Jesus has a question for every one he meets, for every occasion, for every experience. Using these questions as a starting point, John Dear invites readers to discover the lessons by searching their own hearts and minds for answers. Dear weaves insights from ethical and religious teachers ranging from Buddha to Martin Luther King, Jr. Using recent events as powerful examples, the author shows why a renewed commitment to Jesus' message of nonviolence, justice, and peace is essential to healing a world torn by violence and war.

A Quiet Place

BY DOUGLAS WOOD, ILLUSTRATED BY DAN ANDREASON
"Readers will relate to the ruddy-cheeked, blond city-dweller, who with hands clamped tightly over his ears yearns for respite from `whistles shrieking and grown-ups talking and engines roaring and ... grown-ups talking....' In prose saturated with simile and metaphor, Wood suggests numerous subdued spots for solitude from ponds and deserts to caverns and museums and then interjects the boy's fantasies into the mix. . These scenarios will hold children rapt until the concluding thought perhaps a bit lofty for the very young that people hold within themselves `the very best quiet place of all.'" -Publishers Weekly Coming in May in Paper!
