Wrestling With The Angel

Quaker Engagement In Commercial And Public Affairs

BY TONY STOLLER

Brief Description:
This, the 2001 Swarthmore lecture, is the author's wake-up call to alert us to a falling-away from our previous tradition of concern in and support for those engaged in, commerce and public affairs. From his own experience he argues that, just as for Jacob confronting the Angel, this engagement is not without personal risk, and involves challenges for Quaker corporate work. His first-hand knowledge of the workings of commercial organizations, the media and public regulatory bodies encourages him to assert that engagement in these fields is worthwile witness for the individual and a proper obligation for our society.
