\n William Sims, <\/span>
\n<\/i> 82 a\u00f1os, el 26 de junio de 2015, en Syracuse, Nueva York. Bill naci\u00f3 el 26 de septiembre de 1933 en Yazoo City, Mississippi. Llev\u00f3 una vida rica y fruct\u00edfera a pesar de su largo confinamiento en prisiones de m\u00e1xima seguridad, habiendo cumplido 43 a\u00f1os de una cadena perpetua. La aceptaci\u00f3n y bienvenida de Meeting Poplar Ridge (Nueva York) como miembro fue una fuente especial de alegr\u00eda tanto para \u00e9l como para el Meeting. <\/span><\/p>\n

Asisti\u00f3 por primera vez al Meeting de adoraci\u00f3n en 1975 dentro de la prisi\u00f3n de Auburn, en el primer Meeting de adoraci\u00f3n celebrado en una prisi\u00f3n del estado de Nueva York. Se convirti\u00f3 en un asistente fiel y partidario del grupo de adoraci\u00f3n en la prisi\u00f3n de Auburn y fue secretario durante muchos a\u00f1os. En 1978, el Meeting Regional Farmington-Scipio otorg\u00f3 al grupo el estatus de Meeting preparatorio. Ese mismo a\u00f1o, asisti\u00f3 a un taller del Proyecto Alternativas a la Violencia (AVP) en Auburn. En a\u00f1os posteriores, facilit\u00f3 talleres y proporcion\u00f3 la comunicaci\u00f3n y la creaci\u00f3n de confianza esenciales para el \u00e9xito del programa. Bill fue un pionero. Hoy en d\u00eda, existen programas AVP activos en 18 prisiones del estado de Nueva York y grupos de adoraci\u00f3n cu\u00e1queros en 11 prisiones del estado de Nueva York. Los administradores y guardias de la prisi\u00f3n, los presos y los voluntarios cu\u00e1queros\/AVP confiaban en \u00e9l. Desarroll\u00f3 amistades cercanas con muchos Amigos de la regi\u00f3n. <\/span><\/p>\n

No ten\u00eda poder, ni recursos, ni contactos ni llamadas telef\u00f3nicas limitadas. Pero con el poder sugerido por la cita cu\u00e1quera, \u201cVeamos qu\u00e9 puede hacer el amor\u201d, obtuvo una licenciatura de la Universidad de Syracuse y una maestr\u00eda de la Universidad de Buffalo mientras estaba en prisi\u00f3n. Desarroll\u00f3 una notable habilidad art\u00edstica y le gustaba enviar tarjetas de felicitaci\u00f3n hechas a mano a sus amigos, siempre escribiendo su mensaje en un inserto y dejando el interior en blanco para que el amigo pudiera usarlo como nuevo. Conoci\u00f3, cortej\u00f3 y se cas\u00f3 con Dorothy Gowin, miembro del Meeting de Syracuse (Nueva York). <\/span><\/p>\n

Dorothy muri\u00f3 antes que Bill. Le sobreviven dos hijos, Darrell Sims (Marianne) y Anola Gowin; dos nietos; cinco hermanos, Robert Ratliff (Lillian), Larry Johnson, Elester Johnson, Richard Johnson y Robert Sims; y cuatro hermanas, Clara Johnson, Artena Ahammer, Synetta Sleet y Mary Lela Sims. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
