After I returned from fighting in Vietnam in 1970 I met some Quakers who were engaged in the peacemaking work of the American Friends Service Committee. Their fervent, faith-based social-activism inspired me as I attended a Presbyterian seminary, learning to be a pastor. Reading about Quakers’ historic commitment to peace and justice and worshiping with them in silence from time to time over the years has made of me a “Quakerterian.” I just received news that the national Quaker magazine, Friends’ Journal, has used a photograph I took for its March issue. See the attachment. Somewhat ironically, I took that photo while visiting a protestant church in southern France which was the venue of a heated battle. It had become a fortress for religious resistors, who eventually died there. The March issue is all about taking the Quaker faith out of meeting houses and into the streets and the world. We Presbyterians too must resist a fortress mentality as our faith is being challenged by principalities and powers.

Tom;

Thanks for sharing your contribution(s) to what life is really all about.

Maybe we can look into taking the “Quaker message” into the prison, where it may help my students learn of a better way of life.

peace,

jack

Tom, I admire your photography skills and the wide reach of your ministry. Yes, the church should be and is the embodiment of God's mission in the world. Quakers have always been on the front lines and I sing the praises of their witness.
Blessings and peace, Terry
