Eldering

BY PETER WOOD
Looks at the role of the elder in the Quaker Community asking Important questions about it's appropriate forms. "What's become of the role of elder? If elders are, as one Friend describes them, 'the mothers and fathers of tradition,' their loss leaves many of us as spiritual orphans. For many of us, the Inward Teacher we seek becomes, without the awakening and encouraging powers of the elder, as inaccessible as Godot, for whom we sit and wait to little avail. Who were they, these elders? More urgently for our own sakes, where elders no longer serve our Meetings actively, who will stand in their stead?"

A Life In The Cause Of Peace

BY MARY LEE MORRISON

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

An American Life

BY LORI GINZBERG
In this subtly crafted biography, the historian Lori D. Ginzberg narrates the life of a woman of great charm, enormous appetite, and extraordinary intellectual gifts who turned the limitations placed on women like herself into a universal philosophy of equal rights. Few could match Stanton's self-confidence; loving an argument, she rarely wavered in her assumption that she had won. But she was no secular saint, and her positions were not always on the side of the broadest possible conception of justice and social change. At once critical and admiring, Ginzberg captures Stanton's ambiguous place in the world of reformers and intellectuals.

Most of the sounds and all of the colors came from nature. She absorbed them like moss absorbing a spring rain. Emma Field - daughter of Jeremiah and the late Josephine, child of the land, child of a Methodist and Quaker community swept by the winds of Lake Ontario - knew where she belonged. The circles of her life were clearly defined. That gave her comfort. It also filled her with fear." an excerpt from the book.

Emma's Poem

The Voice Of The Statue Of Liberty

BY LINDA GLASER, CLAIRE NIVOLA
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"...Who wrote these words? And why? In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet that was to give voice to the Statue of Liberty. Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared national struggles for liberty, the Statue, thanks to Emma's poem, slowly came to shape our hearts, defining us for that time at least as a nation that welcomes and gives refuge to those who come to our shores.
