Guidelines for the Upcoming Special Issues

Most Friends Journal issues offer feature articles on a variety of subjects, but periodically we publish thematic special issues. For 2008, we invite submissions for the following:

The Peace Testimony (July 2008)
This has been a central testimony of Friends since the beginning. What, exactly, does it mean to Friends today? How has it evolved? How are Friends applying it in their personal, work, and public lives? How does it figure in Friends vision of the world order? To what extent is it realistic and our work for it effective?

We request inquiries by February 1 and complete submissions by March 1, 2008.

Energy, Climate, and Building Community (October 2008)
What is the vision and role of Friends as the world faces the crises of diminishing fossil fuel and increasing environmental damage? What are Friends doing now? What technologies should Friends support and be engaged in? What new ways of living will need to emerge, and how will they affect our communities?

We request inquiries by May 1 and complete submissions by June 1, 2008.

If you are interested in contributing material on these topics, please get in touch with us. We encourage advance inquiries and suggestions from prospective authors and artists. Contact Robert Dockhorn, senior editor, at senioreditor@friendsjournal.org.
