A True Story How Children Can Help Create World Peace Through Toys
BY CHARLOTTE PACK In 1926 with tensions rising between the two countries, the United States sent 12,739 Friendship Dolls to Japan. Ellen C. was one of those dolls, the book follows her from Wilmington, Ohio to Nagasaki, Japan and learns how friendship can overcome even war. Finding the Friendship Dolls shows how children can appreciate the people and culture of another country even in troubled times. Although this story happened many years ago, children today still have the same power to make a difference through children's diplomacy - the act of children simply sharing their friendship. It is time for a children's peace movement, and this book leads the way.

Learning From Quaker Examples
BY RON STANSELL Consciously and unconsciously, twentieth-century Evangelical Friends were influenced by traditions and beliefs about the Holy Spirit, interpersonal relationships of peace and harmony, convictions that the human condition involves both physical and spiritual needs, and the belief that a passionately holy life full of integrity was required of them as missionaries. The bold witness of early Friends includes biblical teaching about the equality of all human beings, the work of God in the hearts of people everywhere, loyalty to Scripture, the centrality of Christ, the possibility of culture being transformed, and the personal guidance of the Holy Spirit.
