Pell*w hip of R-a I and its history. Please read it through and respond if you are interwsst. NA.KI! HISTORY This cuarter of 1994 has been a thriller. After a bumpy ridebmt far Is= bloodshed than there might have been ,the great transition has been achieve ffm m agu .old Maoe domination to a shared society. Even though the unsuspeoting orowd cheers the flypast of the instnsats of domination and the military men close ranks behind the new President a his Deputies, the aohievement is almost without parallel in history and those who worked and suffered for it can rejoice. Along with "Reooiioruction", the word "Reoonciliation" is now on the lips of our statemen and women. South Africa onco had a tiny organisation ambtiously named "The Fellowship of Reconciliation" (SR)R). What role did it play, together with the baokizg of the International Fellowship of Reconolialon (IVIR) in this almost pea.ceful trensition? Did its speifioally pacifist ohareater, its imawoo on nonviolenoe, limit it to a small group with a marginal role? Or did it plat seeds that grew bigger than we realise? How did it relate to the 5ass movements of oppressed people? Is the FOR vision and emphasis relevant now7 Is it needed to calm the endemio violence in our society, or to counter our national te"Ptgion to sell to other oauntries the very weapons we developed in killing one another? In the past dew- des of Etrugle the methods of nonviolence were increasingly used, bat often in a spirit of enmity. TII greatly reduces its effectiveness, especially to produce an elroady reconciled situation as the confliot ends. Goodwill towards the opponent is the real spirit of nonviolenoe. As these methods continue to be used in our oountry's development do we need a specific movement o* organisation to foster this spirit and to promote nonviolenoe not merely as a strategy but as a way of life as :!. tho way society will function best? You may be aware that a few groups are testing out the possibility of reviving the South African Fellowship of Reconciliation for this purpose, We already receive a small bat high-quality contribution towards nonviolence and peacemaking from the Society of Friends (Quakers). Also there is the Methodist Order of Peacemakers. These are denominational organisations oommiied to nonviolence. The SAMlR, if reoonstituted, would be an inter-faith organisation. It would have international links with more than 40 other similar national and regional bodies through the International FOR. The latter describes itself as "an organisation of people whoso faith has led them to commit themselves to nonviolence as a way of life and as a moans of personalp social and political ohanage."

Its birth was almost within sound of the opening guns of World War I. N.No -en, in the heartbreak of a peace oonferonoe shattered by the last swift forerunners of that oonfliot, conceived the idea. Friedrich Siegnmund-Schultze, pacifist Lutheran chaplain to the Kaiser, and Henry Hodgkin, English Quaker, gripod hands on the platform of Cologne railway station on August 3rd 1914, one _.ry before their countries formally declared war on one ather. tkw vowed not to fight against each other and to support others who took the me dccision. They parted, each t work out the implioations of that pmise. Henry Hodgkin initiajed the Fellowship of Reoonoiliation at U6 with -128 nerbcrs as 1914 drew to its close. Friedrioh Siogmand-Sahaltse m areted 27 tines during the war but eventually saw the formation of the Vr -Xr s :f the Fellowship agreed: "That Love, as revcalod and interpreted in the life and death of Jesus hrist, involves more than we have yet seen, that it -i the only power 1y which evil :an be overcome, and the only sufficient basis for human society; . ':., in order to establish a world order based on Love, it is incucnt tn those who believe in this principle to accept it fully, both for thmselvcs and in their relation to others, and to take the risks involved in icinrg ss in a world which does not as yet accept it; . T..at, thereforc, as Christifins we are forbidden to wage war and that our loyalty to our country, to humanity, to the Cumrch Universal, and to Jesus I"hrist, 3ur Lord and MX-.str, calls us insteA to a life of service for the enthronement of Love in personal, sooial, commercial and national life. After the war, in October 1919, fifty men and women from tan countries, including Hodgkin and Siegmund-Schultze, set up the International Fellowship of ecoonciliritin (IMOR) at a conference in Bitlhoven, Holland. Today it has br- .nshcs in over 40 countries and on all continents and includes adherents Wvriyus faiths as well as Christians. lh..c Origins of the South African Fellowship A t-wn in the Free State is nme d after the heroine of South Africa's oldest Pcace movement.

  • 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.

  • Index of Pendle Hill Pamphlets 1934 - 2017
    Index of Pendle Hill Pamphlets 1934 - 2017 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.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT: During the period 1920-1930, British Protestant missionaries engaged in many cultural activities in China. This study is designed to analyze their special role in China's national development and modernization. The opening chapter mainly introduces the significance of the missionary social gospel and describes its theological tenets.
