Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles of Peace
As story after story follows through 250 pages, I felt that here was a chapter of Church history which deserves to be better known. Most of those who suffered were men in the humble ranks of life, but they were of the stuff of which saints and heroes are made.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the tension between pacifist Quakerism and the changing world around it. The author examines the arguments put forth by a fictional character from a recent publication titled "A Twice Interrupted Colloquy" who contends that a total rejection of militarism is untenable in the modern world. The author critiques this position, countering that the pacifist stance remains both ethically sound and strategically prudent, especially in the face of modern warfare's devastation. The book draws upon historical examples of Quaker steadfastness in the face of persecution, and argues that the church's silence on militarism undermines its credibility. The author concludes by calling for the church to take a strong stance against war, and for individuals to embrace pacifism as a way to effect real change in the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332728657_0
