    A Friendly Letter | Chuck Fager

    A Friendly Letter Issue Number Seventy-Seven ISSN '0739-5418 Eighth Month, 1987 Dear Friend, It happened again--We got scooped. And not once, but tNice. The topic is marriage: what does it mean among Friends today? What should it mean? Can we be content with the received religious, social and legal definitions of this relationship? What witness ought we to bear in this regard today? These and related questions were on my menu for a possible upcoming issue; but both Friends Journal and the Newsletter of Friends for Lesbian and Gay Concerns beat me to it. FLGe's long article in its summer issue dealt mainly with same- gender marriage, an item which has recently exercized several yearly and numerous monthly meetings; but Friends Journal's piece, by Janet Hemphill Minshall in its 7il-15 issue, dealt with a heterosexual and monogamous, but non-legal union. This is not only a matter of sexual morality: there are other aspects too, such as the tax and public benefit implications for marriages, especially between elderly or disabled people, which have come to some Friends' attention. Weighty matters, these, on which much seeking and threshing is needed; so they may turn up here yet. One other wrinkle that deserves mention here, however, is that the FLGe article in my view marked a transition for its Newsletter. It is rapidly outgrowing its role as an obscure special interest organ, and could become a new Quaker publication with a particular identity but of broad interest and Society-wide implications. It is a journal to take note of.
  • Paradigms of Collective Decision Making – Counsel, Majority and Consensus

    Paradigms of Collective Decision Making – Counsel, Majority and Consensus

    For Manchester Social Movements Conference, 21-23 March 2016 by Andy Blunden The Origins of Collective Decision Making (Synopsis) Abstract: A synopsis is provided of the origin and history of the three main paradigms of collective decision making – Counsel, Majority and Consensus. From a reflection on the conditions under which each arose and the historical evolution of each tradition, the ethical foundations of each mode is brought into relief and an appropriate attitude to collective decision making is suggested which would foster creative collaboration on the Left. The question Ever since participating in the S11 protests against the World Economic Forum in Melbourne in 2000, I have been intrigued by processes of collective decision making and in particular by the antagonism between the two main paradigms used on the Left, viz., Majority and Consensus. Reading the literature arising from the Occupy Wall Street events I became alarmed at the depth of this antagonism and in particular the way the problem was being aggravated by ‘histories’ of Consensus decision making based on hearsay and ill-informed speculation, and the apparent belief that Majority decision making does not have a history at all. Everyone on the Left has some measure of familiarity with both paradigms but the overwhelming majority of activists are firmly committed to one or the other and this problem is emerging as a significant barrier to collaboration on the Left and the success of our shared project. Further, because people – not only young people, but even experienced hands – have no idea of the historical origins of these two paradigms, but simply compare and contrast them pragmatically and on the basis of personal experience, the reasons underlying this antagonism remain shrouded in mystery.

    Freedom Movement Memories by Peter Kellman

    Sunday, February 8, 2015 Freedom Movement Memories by Peter Kellman It will soon be 50 years since I took a bus to Selma, Alabama. I was 19 years old. A few months earlier I had moved to an old farm in Voluntown, Connecticut, which was run by a peace activist organization called the New England Committee for Non-violent Action (CNVA). CNVA’s focus at the time was stopping the War in Vietnam. I was sent out with others to speak and protest against the War. I was sent down to Washington to organize demonstrations when the bombing of North Vietnam by our government began. On returning from Washington, CNVA received a call asking for people to go down to Selma, Alabama. As part of Voting Rights organizing project in Alabama, Jimmie Lee Jackson, an SCLC organizer, was murdered by a state trooper on February 18, 1965. Following Jimmie Lee Jackson’s murder a call went out (mainly to clergy) to come to Selma to help give visibility to the struggle there. A march from Selma to Montgomery to protest the slaying of Jimmie Lee Jackson was called. One who answered the call was Unitarian minister named James Reeb. The march, known as Bloody Sunday, took place on March 7th. A few days later, Rev. Reeb was beaten in downtown Selma and died March 11th. Another call went out for people to come to Selma. CNVA responded by sending me. I was given bus money and asked to go to Selma and represent CNVA. On the way down I was told to stop in New York City to talk to Bayard Rustin and get some advice about going south.

    Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012

    Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012 JAMES WILLIAM CROAN CHADKIRK A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Theology, Philosophy and Religion Centre for Postgraduate Quaker Studies The University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract During the 1850s there was rising concern in the Society of Friends about declining membership. From the 1840s attempts were made to obtain hard statistics on adherence and in the late 20th century another decline again reduced numbers to the level of the 1850s and 1860s. This thesis reviews and analyses data from the middle of the 19th century to 2012, illuminating variation in both membership and participation in church worship and governance. It presents new data on participation in meeting for worship and provides geographical and socio- metric data on the origins of enquiries about Quakerism, providing both a research tool for further work by bringing large volumes of information together and illuminating the ways in which the size and the social structure of the Society of Friends has varied with time.
