I'm always intrigued at how Catherine Frost many tell me they read the issue from back to front- starting with such Circulation and Promotion Nagendran Gulendran things as Milestones, scanning the Classifieds, checking out the brief department Computer Production pieces.

Edward Sargent Since very few check out our Masthead in every issue, let me call attention to Bookkeeper James Neveil several staff changes that have occurred this month. First, you will see that Student Intern Associate Editor Melissa Kay Elliott's name is absent. Melissa resigned from the Kate Nash JouRNAL this fall. After nearly seven years on our staff, she will be missed by all of Volunteers us- as a fine writer and editor, and as a valued colleague and F/friend.

If you scan the Contents page to my Carolyn Sprogell, Wilmer Tjossem, Alice Wiser right, your eye may stop at one title, Elizabeth Claggett-Borne's article on "Facing (Secretary) Up to Sexual Abuse Among Friends."

  • Of Pendle Hill Pamphlets 1934 - 2014
    Index of Pendle Hill Pamphlets 1934 - 2014 Introduction Many remarkable gifts have come out of the Pendle Hill experience, but few are more remarkable than the series of Pendle Hill Pamphlets, ongoing now for eighty years. Conceived as the published equivalent of messages spoken in a Friends’ meeting for worship, these brief essays reflect the range and vision of unprogrammed Quaker religious thought and practice. Among the authors represented here are a handful of famous names, such as Toynbee, Weil, and Buber. But for the most part the pamphlets are the works of a “cloud of witnesses” distinguished primarily for their spirit and expressiveness. And while there are recurring themes among them (peace, worship, art), the four hundred-plus titles cover almost as many topics. Over the years, many readers have commented on the richness of spiritual resources and information represented in these essays. Many have also asked for help in using them in study, reflection, and research. This index is designed to answer that need. It includes four sections: • Section I is an annotated list of the pamphlets. This list is in numerical order, and the pamphlet number serves as a cross-reference tool throughout the index. Each listing includes title, author, date of publication (in parentheses), a brief summary of the essay, and its subjects. • Section II groups the pamphlets alphabetically by author. • Section III lists the pamphlets alphabetically by title. • Section IV offers a subject index for the pamphlets. Index by Number Cooperation and Coercion as Methods of Social Change Nicholson, Vincent De Witt (1934) 1 The author asks if the consequences of differences and conflicts can be creative instead of devastating.
