The Civil Rights Years - The Movement In Microcosm

BY PAUL WAHRHAFTIG
While there are many nationally recognized heroes of the Civil Rights Movement, little is known of the unheralded rural and small town activists. The Rev. J.D. McManus was one such activist who struggled to make Civil Rights a reality in his corner of the nation. His amazing story is told in the new book by Paul Wahrhaftig and gives us new insights into the realities of organizing for and implementing civil rights in the rural and small town South.

Revolutionary Quaker Witness

Learning From The Lamb's War Of The 1650's

BY DOUG GWYN
What were they thinking? What were the spiritual and social roots of the activism our Quaker forbearers were known for? Doug Gwyn provides a short guide to the history of Quaker beginnings, focussing on the aspects that enabled the first Friends to truly 'tear down the pillars of the world' as one version of the George Fox song has it. Gwyn applies his understanding of this dynamic to our current sense of impasse in the face of the world's ills, and comes up with some challenging answers.

Right Relationship

Building A Whole Earth Economy

BY PETER BROWN AND GEOFFREY GARVER
What is right relationship? A thing is right when it preserves the integrity, resilience, & beauty of the commonwealth of life and wrong when it does otherwise. Unlimited growth & wealth are seen as "natural law" and nothing can be done to alter this - even if it means damaging the Earth's ecological & social systems. We face a moral choice: bring the economy into right relationship with the planet & its inhabitants, or suffer the consequences - the increasing destruction of Earth's life support systems & social structures. This book presents a proposal for bringing our world into alignment. A project of the Quaker Institute for the Future.

Ripening Of Quaker Worship

BY DAVID BILLS
David Bills points out in this 1998 pamphlet that "We are about to enter the fifth century during which Quaker worship has taken place." Bills traces the basic evolution of Friends over the century, discussing their origins and developments in styles of worship and places of worship and attitudes toward evangelical ministry. Bills's speech also comes with an imperative, though: He urges Friends toward more and better worship, and encourages them to focus on the unique practices and beliefs that set them apart from the "generic Protestant" mainstream.

Rooted In Christianity, Open To New Light

Quaker Spiritual Diversity

BY ALEX WILDWOOD AND TIM PEAT ASHWORTH
Contemporary Quaker meetings encounter unprecedented diversity of belief and religious language. How do we better understand - and work creatively with - the tension between traditional Christian faith and emerging expressions of Quakerism? The two authors developed Woodbrooke's 'Rooted in Christianity, Open to New Light' project, which has travelled around many Quaker meetings in Britain. This is the book arising from the project, in which they explore the issues that spiritual diversity raises for Quakers individually and corporately, and the challenges and rewards of being a diverse, inclusive community of faith.
