An important contribution to our understanding of the relationship of Quaker faith to the ability to live sustainably as part of creation. ( ) Excellent history of both the faith abd practice of Friends of all stripes and colors. Gwyn is a fluid writer with an intimate acquaintance across the Quaker spectrum, and I suspect Friends of all types will find resonance in these pages. Unfortunately, I think the book has two shortcomings. One is that he ties the book to the occupy movement. Like the use of slang, the "occupy movement" has dated the book before it has been read. The second shortcoming is that he is rather vague in what he envisions as the sustainability of Quaker Meetings in today's world. I would have appreciated a bit more forthright discussion of our obligation to work (in the U.S.) on racial issues; on issues of immigration (in the U.K. & Europe) and on freedom of expression of sexuality (in Africa). Persons within the "unity with nature" camp might say the same regarding environmental issues. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A well-known Quaker historian explores the qualities of Quaker faith and practice that contribute to living sustainably in the world today. He explores such paradoxes as equality and community, unity and differentiation, integrity and personal discernment, and other aspects of life that Quakers have worked to bring into balance through their 350-year history. How have Quakers learned to create the kind of individual and community life that can prepare us to live fully and responsibly into a time of social and planetary change?
