Just came back from an afternoon session at the 15th Street Quaker Meeting
sponsored by the Peace Committee. We were all sharing our experience of our
relationship to the Quaker Peace Testimony in the light of current events.
For me Faith is the opposite of fear and the intellect is far too limited to deal
with the multi-dimensional crisis that we have here. Peace is not the absence of
war. Peace is a process that needs to be actively nurtured and created. It was
comforting to be in a room full of Friends seeking Peace, even though we are
all human and grappling with feelings and conflicting thoughts. It’s great to
have a forum for working it through.
