Quaker Racism

The 48th Walton Lecture

BY DONNA MCDANIEL AND VANESSA JULYE
Certainly based on their book, Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship, the SEYM pamphlet Quaker Racism spurs action. First the speakers presented gut wrenching historical information, then how-to information on what an individual and group can do to address the issue today. This is a great introductory discussion book to the topic of present-day, ongoing racism. One participate said, "Vanessa Julye and Donna McDaniel worked with us to explore the ongoing nuances of racism and how it impacts us in insidious ways we would consciously reject if we were aware."

Quaker Ranter Reader

Essays From The Website Of Martin Kelley Aka The Quaker Ranter

BY MARTIN KELLEY
This book is a collection of posts from one of the most popular Quaker bloggers. "The true gift, to me, of Martin's ministry through Quaker Ranter is the opening of a space for people to have these conversations about their experiences. What's wonderful is how the conversation frequently focuses on how people approach naming their self-understanding, and then their subsequent experience of how well - or not - that self-understanding relates back to the local and wider Quaker communities." - Chris Mohr

Quaker Summer

A Novel

BY LISA SAMSON
When Heather Reeves wrecks her Suburban outside Baltimore, Maryland, two elderly Quaker women come to her rescue. Inspired by their radical lives, Heather experiences a summer of awakening and grace. "Samson's unflinching exploration of childhood bullying, as well as inner-city poverty and drug culture, are rivaled only by her portrayal of the soul-desiccating acquisitiveness in which many Christians engage.... Unlike many Christian novelists, Samson does not tidily resolve every single problem her heroine faces, but instead paints an emotionally and spiritually luminous portrait of a soul beckoned by God." - Publishers Weekly

Quaker Views On Mysticism

Php 375

BY MARGERY POST-ABBOTT
This pamphlet grew from the author's search for ways to interpret and respond to the joyful, but none-the-less, life shattering, mystical experiences that have transformed her life. She considers how Friends today recognize and respond to the guidance of the Inward Light of Christ and describes varying Quaker views on mysticism and the mystical. She touches upon the need to continually test leadings in the silence of Quaker worship and in the arms of Quaker community.

Quaker Witness As Sacrament

Php 397

BY DANIEL SNYDER
What happens when we understand prayer as a kind of "inward activism" and political witness to Friends testimonies as a kind of "outward prayer?" Dan Snyder has wrestled with the apparent dichotomy between the pulls of an inward call to a spiritual life of contemplation and an outward call to respond to the problems of the world. He has concluded that rather than competing with each other, these two calls are parts of a single whole that must be joined if he is to be faithful to either. The author offers his own insights and the shared discoveries that have emerged from exploring these questions with students at Pendle Hill. Discussion questions included.

The book also includes such things as cures for chilblains and instructions on how to air mattresses. Elizabeth Ellicott Lea's Quakerism pervades the book and William Weaver, in his long and comprehensive introduction, places her in the Quaker world of the time, and seeks to explain the Quaker "politics" that meant this successful book was never mentioned in her obituary or in the Quaker journals of the time, whilst another by a Unitarian was.

A Religion Meaningful For Today's World

BY PHILADELPHIA YEARLY MEETING
"I was delighted when Quakerism: A Religion Meaningful for Today's World was produced because it covers what I wish to convey in brief, easily readable form. I particularly appreciate the mix of information about beliefs (including brief information about the testimonies), history, accomplishments, structure, practices, and resouces. The inclusion of illustrations is critical to lighten the text, making the text less dense and formidable-looking to the novice inquirer. The illustrations make it great for young people down to middle school age - a great need!" - Peggy Morscheck Each $2.50 for fewer than 10, Each $2.00 for multiples of 10, each $1.00 for 100+.

Quakerism, A Theology For Our Time

American Edition

BY PATRICIA A WILLIAMS
Like Barclay's Apology of 1676 this is a substantial work on Quaker theology, yet it is written for the general reader. It elucidates the Quaker theology of the Inward Light, as found in Barclay and in George Fox. In their theology, the primary authority is the power within all people that can transform them into loving, compassionate, and peaceful people. Modern Biblical criticism and the discoveries of science enhance the original Quakerism and render it uniquely suited to our time. The author has taught at Universities in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Currently, she lives 'off the grid' in the mountains of Virginia in a solar home she built herself.

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
