    Pierre Ceresole a Lifetime Serving Peace

    Pierre Ceresole A lifetime serving Peace Bibliothèque de la Ville La Chaux-de-Fonds Service Civil International Pierre Ceresole (1879-1945) La Chaux-de-Fonds Bibliothèque de la ville, 25.9.2010-15.1.2011 The La Chaux-de-Fonds Municipal Library has joined forc- es with Service Civil International to put together an ex- hibition devoted to Pierre Ceresole, a pacifist personality who is nowadays little-known to the public at large. From the First World War on he worked unstintingly to try to set up a civilian service for conscientious objectors, going as far as to launch a Federal campaign (in Switzerland) in 1922/1923. We have to wait more than seventy years before a public service is set up which replaces military duties for people who officially declare themselves to be conscientious objectors. As a matter of fact, up until 1996 the latter are tried by Military Tribunal and sentenced to prison. We can now appreciate how far we have come since then. As part of SCI’s 90th anniversary, in ten display panels, the exhibition takes us through the main phases in the life of the militant pacifist. It also refers to a number of histori- cal landmarks in the development of conscientious objec- tion and non-violence. The personal accounts of volun- teers who have taken part in international voluntary work camps highlight Ceresole’s heritage. This brochure contains the content of the exhibition with additional information about Service Civil international and the La Chaux-de-Fonds Public Library. It includes as well a short biography of Pierre Ceresole, which shows his evolution to a radical pacifist.

March 2001 1920 - 1970 The first fifty years of Service Civil International by Etienne Reclus, Paris Origins Since the beginning of this century men and women had been wondering about that rise in violence and asking themselves which action to take upon in order to avoid that such a wave would develop which would bring about total war. This is how some men and women especially in Great Britain, tried to create a chain of resistance and came in contact with pacifists from Germany, the USA etc... A rather important group was set up in Cambridge, Great Britain: some of its members, particularly in Britain, objected to their call-up-order. In 1919 the various groups met up again at Bilthoven in Holland, an estate which belonged to one of their friends, and that is where the International Movement for Reconciliation (IMR) was officially set up. Pierre Ceresole had been invited and there were his first contacts with the Quakers who had carried out many relief actions for the victims during and after the war. For him that meeting meant a decisive step in his life. As a Swiss citizen he had constantly been arguing against that war and feeling Indignant about the passivity of the Christian churches; he became a total pacifist which led him to spend many months in prison in Switzerland in order to demonstrate publicly the horror of that war.

    SCI's HISTORICAL BACKGROUND and DEVELOPMENT

    Bibliothéque de la Ville Coordinator: Philipp Rodriguez Rue du Progrès 33 Th.Kocher-Strasse 3 CH-2305 La Chaux-de-Fonds CH-2502 Biel/Bienne www.service-civil-international.org [email protected] SCI's HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT (Working paper from the report of the seminar: DEVELOPING DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION: SOLIDARITY WORK AND VOLUNTEER EXCHANGE". held in Bemburg - Northern Ireland - from 5 till 9 April 1987) (NB: A number of Ralph's significative comments have been added to the working paper.) Introduction This is a modest attempt to review SCI's history, its principles and its, in so many ways fascinating adaptation of practical activities to "needs of the time". It may be helpful to first throw a glimpse at the situation as it prevailed in Europe in the twenties: in the year after World-War-1st. All countries were in economic crisis, had shattered currencies and went through considerable political and cultural unrest. There was a widespread craze for speculations of all kind, leading in October 1929 to a crash at the New York stock exchange, followed by a general economic collapse with an unemployment rate of hitherto unknown dimensions: at that time without any State unemployment compensation. This meant horrible hardship for millions of workers, employees, workshop owners and shopkeepers. It also meant frantic attempts towards national self-sufficiency, full of hatred for anything so- called foreign, although exactly such chauvinistic attitudes had 15 years earlier let to the First World War and its consequences and with all its misery! As usual in such situations, a majority of people in nearly all-European countries was frustrated.

    “To Leaven the Lump”: a Critical History of the Anglican Pacifist Fellowship in New Zealand

    “To Leaven the Lump”: A Critical History of the Anglican Pacifist Fellowship in New Zealand By Zane Mather A Thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis is an interpretation of the history and character of the Anglican Pacifist Fellowship in New Zealand (NZAPF). It focuses on accounting for the limited growth and influence of the Fellowship upon New Zealand’s largest Christian denomination, and on the continuing marginality of the pacifist position. Throughout its history, the organisation has sought to convince others within the Anglican Church that an absolutist, politically engaged and non-anarchistic pacifism is the truest Christian response to the problem of modern warfare. This has been attempted primarily through efforts at education aimed at both clergy and laity. The thesis argues that the NZAPF has been characterised by a commitment to absolute doctrinaire pacifism, despite ongoing tensions between this position and more pragmatic considerations. Overall, the NZAPF attracted only a small group of members throughout its history, and it exerted a limited demonstrable influence on the Anglican Church. This thesis analyses the reasons for this, focusing especially on those factors which arose from the nature of the NZAPF itself, the character of its pacifism, and the relationship between the NZAPF and its primary target audience, the Anglican Church in New Zealand. The research is based on literature and correspondence from the NZAPF as well as personal communication with extant members, where this was feasible.

Professor Ferguson was until recently President of the Selly Oak Colleges and Professor Davie is at Vanderbilt University, Tennessee. Dr. Jenkins, Dr. Cornick and Professor Ferguson are contributing articles for the first time. The conversation between Dr. Jenkins and Professor Davie, which moves from Protestant aesthetics to Nonconformist poetics, introduces a tone new to the Journal, to which pure historians might object. It is to be hoped that the conversation will continue, perhaps on architecture, or music, or indeed that vanishing art-form, the sermon. Professor Ferguson also introduces a new note: that of reminiscence. His stance is in a firm tradition, not too far removed from that of William Baines.
  • Margaret Glover Images of Peace in Britain

    Margaret Glover Images of Peace in Britain

    MARGARET GLOVER IMAGES OF PEACE IN BRITAIN: FROM THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE SECOND WORLD WAR’ (University of Reading: unpublished Ph.D thesis, 2002) Two volumes: volume 1 – 378 pages, with appendices; volume 2 – 474 images This thesis investigates the rich range of images and outlets associated with pacifism, and considers the changing palette and motifs of peace, especially between 1900 and 1940. The author embeds the display of peace into the history of the peace movement. Quakers were at the heart of the peace movement, driving it forward through the Boer, Spanish Civil, First and Second World Wars, and sustaining and nourishing its longevity and integrity. Indeed, the author has revealed their archive of Friends’ peace posters to be integral to her thesis and to twentieth-century pacifism. Other groups are included; the Peace Pledge Union, Artists’ International Association and Pax feature most strongly. The art and design of Birmingham Quaker Joseph E. Southall and Catholic Eric Gill form a large part of the thesis. However, the thesis reveals how central were amateurs and local campaigners to the production of peace images and peace activism. Moreover, the tensions that war and pacifism provoked are explored throughout. The author utilises a range of methodological approaches and incorporates not only what peace imagery consisted of, but also its media – such as posters, the pacifist press, buttonholes and the art – as well as display outlets: for example, the body, the street, peace shops, placards, pageants, processions, vehicles, exhibitions, cinema and theatre. KEYWORDS: pacifism; peace movement; Quakers; Peace Testimony; Peace Pledge Union; peace exhibitions; peace shops; peace imagery; peace posters; peace badges; white poppies; Peace News; Spanish Civil War; World War One; World War Two; Artists International Association; Peggy Smith; Dick Sheppard; Joseph E.

It is often assumed that the relationship between religious organisations and Marxism has often been acrimonious, the latter famously rejecting religion as the ‘opium of the people’, and religion resisting the revolutionary nature of Marxism. Taking a biographical approach, examining four Church of England clergymen, Robert Cummings, Conrad Noel, Hewlett Johnson and Alan Ecclestone, this thesis shows that some Anglicans saw a philosophical connection between Christianity and Marxism.
