The Selected Letters Of Lucretia Coffin Mott

EDITED BY BEVERLY WILSON-PALMER
The correspondence of the Quaker activist Lucretia Mott, these letters illustrate the length and breadth of her public life as a leading reformer while providing an intimate glimpse of her family life. Dedicated to reform of almost every kind, temperance, peace, equal rights, woman suffrage, nonresistance, and the abolition of slavery, Mott viewed women's rights as only one element of reform for American society. A founder and leader of many antislavery organizations, she housed fugitive slaves, maintained lifelong friendships with such African-American colleagues as Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, and agitated to bring her fellow Quakers to take a stand against slavery.

Send My Roots Rain

A Spirituality Of Justice And Mercy

BY MEGAN MCKENNA
Justice and mercy are so easily misunderstood. "We tend to think of them as opposing forces and actions," she writes. "But the tradition of the Judeo-Christian world is that somehow mysteriously the Holy One holds them bound together, like intertwined roots of a great tree." Drawing upon scripture, Christian poetry and parables from Hindu, Zen, Native American, Jewish and other traditions, McKenna shows how justice and mercy need to be understood in spiritual terms before they can be effectively delivered. This makes for a contemplative, wandering book that's perfect for individual reflection or study groups.
