Hymnody + Resistance
Council of Lutheran Churches: Reformation 500 Hymnody and Christian War-Resistance: Voices for Peace 1914–1918 Rev’d Dr Clive Barrett Clive Barrett was County Ecumenical Officer for West Yorkshire Ecumenical Council. Author of Subversive Peacemakers: War-Resistance 1914-1918 (Lutterworth, Cambridge, 2014), he is Chair of the Trustees of the Peace Museum, Bradford, and a visiting fellow in Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Leeds. Overview This paper will consider how several strands of Protestant tradition appear from the perspective of those who resisted war in Europe in 1914–18, some of whom had assembled for a 1914 pan-Protestant peace conference on Lake Constance, 499 years after the death of Jan Hus. > Within Unitas Fratrum, there were those holding a clear commitment to nonviolence. The anti-militarist writing of Jon Wyclif (c 1330–84), the stand of Jan Hus (c 1371–1415), and the rebuilding of the movement under Petr Chelčický (c 1390–1460), all contributed to a heritage of nonviolence for the emerging Moravian Church. War-resistance and nonviolence are part of the pre-history of the Reformation. > Within the British Methodist and Nonconformist traditions, music and hymn- singing provided a means for expressing and bolstering faith and commitment, and for standing firm to one’s conscience (cf Luther), including a commitment to war-resistance in the name of Christ > Within Lutheranism, this paper examines two individuals whose broad commitment to peace transcended narrow nationalisms. Wyclif, Hus and Chelčický Richmond is a small town on the River Swale in North Yorkshire, dominated by an eleventh-century Norman castle. -
White Poppies Churches
Remembrance Sunday: Services for Peace a resource from Fellowship of Reconciliation and Peace Pledge Union ppu.org.uk for.org.uk THE PEACE PLEDGE UNION has campaigned against war since the 1930s. Founded in the shadow of World War One with the threat of World War Two already looming, its basis has always been that each person has a choice, whether to accept war and war preparations as a fact of ‘normal’ life, or to renounce war and work actively for peace. The Peace Pledge Union is the oldest secular pacifist organisation in the Britain. Today, we challenge systems, practices and polices that fuel war and militarism, and that contribute to the view that armed force is an effective agent of social change. Such systems and beliefs impede the emergence of nonviolent approaches to conflict. A more realistic approach to security would include promoting human rights by example, not by force; developing coherent programmes of education for peace; and reallocating military budgets to long- term peacebuilding, nonviolent diplomacy and tackling the root causes of war. THE FELLOWSHIP OF RECONCILIATION was founded in 1914 following a meeting between Henry Hodgkin, a British Quaker, and Friedrich Sigmund Schültze, a German Lutheran pastor. On parting at Cologne station, they said to each other “We are one in Christ and can never be at war”. A Basis for the Fellowship was agreed on in December that year, which is as follows: • That love as revealed and interpreted in the life and death of Jesus Christ, involves more than we have yet seen, that is the only power by which evil can be overcome and the only sufficient basis of human society. -

Early Friends
Children of the Light-Roots and Transitions, 1647-1677 Robert Griswold Talk given at the Colorado Regional Spring Gathering April 18, 2021 Though reality is all around us, people have always preferred to live in a virtual reality of their own making. There was, however, a strange group of people who arose in England in the mid-17th century. They didn’t fit in socially. And they scorned all of the available religions known to them. This included all the branches of Christianity. They considered the steeple houses, the creeds, the hireling priests, the sacraments and rituals all to be an abomination and corruption. They were certain that these religions were deceptions that shut people into a virtual reality and away from any real spiritual life. They had a new vision that arose from within them, not from what they might have been told. They gathered in homes and in open places, sitting or standing in silence. Sometimes these odd folks came into the local churches and castigated the people there for being all wrong in their religious practice. They often got beat up or thrown out. They claimed to have a new authority called an inward light. They said what mattered was being true to the Inward Light found in silence. They had a life changing vision. What worried people around them was that this group of “light” folks kept growing until there were hundreds of them. And this group challenged the virtual reality constructed by the society around them. I think it is hard for us today to realize just how radical this vision was and how much it worried the people around them. -

From Plainness to Simplicity: Changing Quaker Ideals for Material Culture J
Chapter 2 From Plainness to Simplicity: Changing Quaker Ideals for Material Culture J. William Frost Quakers or the Religious Society of Friends began in the 1650s as a response to a particular kind of direct or unmediated religious experience they described metaphorically as the discovery of the Inward Christ, Seed, or Light of God. This event over time would shape not only how Friends wor shipped and lived but also their responses to the peoples and culture around them. God had, they asserted, again intervened in history to bring salvation to those willing to surrender to divine guidance. The early history of Quak ers was an attempt by those who shared in this encounter with God to spread the news that this experience was available to everyone. In their enthusiasm for this transforming experience that liberated one from sin and brought sal vation, the first Friends assumed that they had rediscovered true Christianity and that their kind of religious awakening was the only way to God. With the certainty that comes from firsthand knowledge, they judged those who op posed them as denying the power of God within and surrendering to sin. Be fore 1660 their successes in converting a significant minority of other English men and women challenged them to design institutions to facilitate the ap proved kind of direct religious experience while protecting against moral laxity. The earliest writings of Friends were not concerned with outward ap pearance, except insofar as all conduct manifested whether or not the person had hearkened to the Inward Light of Christ. The effect of the Light de pended on the previous life of the person, but in general converts saw the Light as a purging as in a refiner’s fire (the metaphor was biblical) previous sinful attitudes and actions.
