Quakers and the Search for Peace

Drawn from the rich archives of Friends Journal, this book illuminates the many aspects of Friends’ most central and most public spiritual testimony: a search for peace.

The search for peace among Quakers began and continues as a spiritual search, not a political one—with such texts as the Sermon on the Mount, not with political schemes.

Friends today seek spiritual peace within, then in their actions toward others and the world itself. From a well-tended spiritual center, Friends seek to sow peace wherever they go. Many have found themselves called to witness for peace in specific ways in their families, their meetings and churches, their communities, their nations and their world.

-From the Foreword

This book is an invaluable resource for those who wish to explore the Quaker peace experience and to better understand and develop their own personal calling for peace. With a careful selection of material approaching peace from many philosophical and practical angles, Quakers and the Search for Peace will serve as a guide not only for Quakers and their meetings and churches, but for readers of all faith traditions who yearn for a more peaceful world. Students and newcomers to Quakerism will find a diverse and compelling introduction to the Quaker religion in modern practice.
