A Curriculum For Friends
BY SALLIE KING "The objective of this curriculum is to help our Quaker youth understand Christian fundamentalism and our differences from it, so that they will not be intimidated, overpowered or confused in their interactions with their Christian fundamentalist peers. The goal is not to enable our youth to argue better with fundamentalists, but to understand their own religious tradition better in the context of a prevalent challenge that they face in the world today. While they are likely to find many points of difference from their fundamentalist peers, they may also find some points at which they may be able to build bridges of understanding." - from the author's introduction
