September 2012

September 2012

In this issue, Erik Cleven talks about how our peacemaking efforts can sometimes undermine those we want to help; Pamela Haines goes deep into 19th century Friend Elias Hicks’s journal; and R Scot Miller and Aran Reinhart recall a surprising story of distrust ebbing away in the spirit of love. FJ print and digital subscribers can read even more great material from this issue.
