to develop export farms in hungry Africa.

*  A Gem by Peace Pilgrim tells of her dawning awareness that she

forms of sacred violence in the context of the Biblical message.

* One of the Recipes is for a hearty and delicious Cannellini bean
stew

* In My Pilgrimage, Amanda Pankiw tells how being grossed-out by a
meat sale in her food store proved the catalyst that enabled her to

* The November Pioneer is Peace Pilgrim, the remarkable woman who made
a vow to walk until all people had found peace--and whose conception
of peace involved our animal cousins as well.

* The Poem, "Upon a Snail," is by John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's
Progress.
