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. -
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. -

Youth, publishing, pastoral ministry, missions, and more During the past year the editors of Quaker Life and Evangelical Friend have met several times to discuss some ways they might cooperate more actively. From those discussions has come a procedure for exchanging articles which might appropriately appear in each publication. This special joint issue is also a product of that cooperation. The theme, "Friends Today" seemed to fit with the editors' desire to emphasize the ways some of our people are serving the Lord In unusual ways and some of the ways our Friends bodies are working together.

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. -

Flavors” of Quakers in the U.S
“Flavors” of Quakers in the U.S. Today It is hard to delineate clear cut branches of American Quakerism because different branches define themselves differently, and because there is much variation and overlap. You can sort Quakers in several ways: by our qualities and characteristics, by the major affiliating organizations we associate with, or by historical lineage (which group is an offshoot of which other group). These different ways of categorizing us will produce similar, but not identical groups. Following is a rough sorting. Liberal Friends Generally, liberal Friends practice unprogrammed worship, do not have formal clergy, and emphasize the authority of the Light Within. They value universalism, meaning they include members identifying with a variety of theological traditions, such as Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Wicca, and increasingly nontheism. You find them most often in the eastern and western parts of the U.S. and in college towns. There are two major groups of Liberal Friends: ● Those affiliated with Friends General Conference (see www.fgcquaker.org). These meetings often trace their roots back to the Hicksite side of the major division (see historic notes below) but there are other histories mixed in. FGC includes yearly meetings in the U.S. and Canada. ● Independent or Western Friends. Located mostly in the Western part of the United States, these Friends are sometimes called “Beanites,” because they trace their roots, to some degree, to the leadership of Joel and Hannah Bean, who came out of the Orthodox side of the major division, but parted ways. Independent Friends have no affiliating organization, but they do have a magazine, Western Friend (https://westernfriend.org).
