Where The Wind Blows

Vitality Among Friends

BY JAY MARSHALL
Imagine two meetings located near to one another. Who can say with certainty why one thrives for generations and the other never does? Or why, with similar histories in terms of attendance, one meeting suddenly explodes with new growth while the other dwindles? A variety of factors influence patterns of growth and vitality. Where the Wind Blows is the result of surveys and conversations with nine flourishing Friends meetings (FGC) or churches (FUM) of Friends. This project had two primary goals: share positive news of worship and ministry among Friends; and create a resource for Friends seeking assistance with their own quest for vitality.

You'll find yourself and those you love on these pages and come away knowing that we are all loved beyond anything we do or say...especially at the dinner table.

Who Do You Say I Am

WILSON, LLOYD LEE
Jesus asked His disciples: Who do you say that I am? Today many of Jesus's followers still seek to answer that question--in contemplation and prayer, in study, in Spirit-led service, in conversations with one another, and in searching their own hearts and souls. Lloyd Lee Wilson offers his own response, which arises from years of engaging with the question through his Quaker faith. This pamphlet invites readers to meet Jesus as Lloyd Lee has come to know Him, and to further explore for themselves, "Who do you say I am?

Who Will Roll Away The Stone?

Discipleship Queries For First World Christians

BY CHED MYERS
Myers exposes the social and spiritual "stones" that impede us in our development and growth as Christians. "In every age," writes Myers, "disciples despair that the story has ended, only to discover that again the stone 'has been rolled away,' reopening the possibility - and imperative - of following the Way of Jesus." He uses three of the most troubling and problematic of recent events - the Los Angeles riots, the Gulf War, the Columbus quincentennial - to demonstrate how the subtle complexities of a culture of technological wizardy, information overload, and short-term memory can be recognized as blocking the first step on the journey of discipleship.

Why Civil Resistance Works

The Strategic Logic Of Nonviolent Conflict

BY ERICA CHENOWETH
For more than a century, from 1900 to 2006, campaigns of nonviolent resistance were more than twice as effective as their violent counterparts in achieving their stated goals. By attracting impressive support from citizens, whose activism takes the form of protests, boycotts, civil disobedience, and other forms of nonviolent noncooperation, these efforts help separate regimes from their main sources of power and produce remarkable results, even in Iran, Burma, the Philippines, and the Palestinian Territories.
