October 2012: Wall Street, Main Street, and Meetinghouse Road

October 2012The articles in this special issue of Friends Journal tackle the perplexity of Friends’ relationships with money on many levels. Merry Stanford writes of coming to an understanding of the spiritual power of philanthropy in her life. In a piece that is sure to generate discussion, John Coleman shares a bracing critique of the failings that led Philadelphia Yearly Meeting to a financial near-death experience. Chiyo Moriuchi and Norval Reece–both of them successes in business–give positive examples of how spiritual strength can engender financial success and how the fruits of ethical business (money and knowledge) can be used to strength and revitalize our spiritual communities.
