Nunua kutoka kwa QuakerBooks<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n

Huenda Doug Gwyn alifikiria zaidi mazingira ambayo yalianzisha Marafiki wa mapema zaidi kuliko Quaker mwingine yeyote. Katika <\/span>Vita dhidi ya Vita<\/span><\/i>insha mbili zinazohusiana, anachimba hadi mizizi ya ushuhuda wetu wa amani na kuweka wazi njia ambazo umeibuka katika miaka 350 iliyopita. Kila sehemu imejengwa juu ya sehemu ya maandiko. Insha ya kwanza, \u201cAmani Hupata Kusudi la Watu wa Pekee,\u201d inachunguza 1 Petro 2:4\u201317\u2014mojawapo ya vyanzo vya madai ya Marafiki wa awali kuwa \u201cwatu wa pekee\u201d\u2014ya pili, \u201cKuleta Amani kwa Kijeshi kwa Namna ya Marafiki,\u201d inachunguza umuhimu wa Kitabu cha Ufunuo kwa Watoto wa Nuru. Usijiruhusu uvunjwe moyo na matumizi yake ya Biblia; inaangazia wito wa kipekee tulionao wa kuiga jamii ambayo ni zaidi ya kupinga vita tu. Gwyn anaonyesha kuwa Marafiki ni-au wanaweza kuwa-Wapinga Vita. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kwanza, ufafanuzi kadhaa. Katika King James Version, 1 Petro 2:9 inatafsiriwa, \u201cBali ninyi ni mzao mteule, ukuhani wa kifalme, taifa takatifu, watu wa milki ya Mungu . . . Katika matoleo ya kisasa, badala ya \u201cwatu wa pekee\u201d utapata \u201cwatu wa Mungu.\u201d Marafiki wa kwanza waliamini aya hii iliyorejelewa kwao. Walikuwa wa Mungu. Waliitwa na Mungu kutimiza jukumu la pekee (yaani, lililochaguliwa na Mungu) katika ulimwengu huu\u2014kuishi katika mahusiano ya amani wao kwa wao na viumbe vingine vyote. Hii ilimaanisha si tu kuachana na vurugu; yalikuwa maisha ya uaminifu kamili wa agano na Muumba na viumbe vyote\u2014mfano wa mwingiliano ambao kwa asili yake hauna nguvu na shuruti kabisa. Vurugu sio lazima ipaliliwe. Haiwezi kukua katika udongo huu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Leo, utulivu mara kwa mara unaonyeshwa kama sharti la kimaadili-falsafa bora ambayo inaweza kutoa manufaa ya vitendo ikiwa tu kila mtu angeikubali. Hii ni tofauti sana na hali ya Wakristo wa kwanza na Quaker wa kwanza. Walikubali matokeo ya uaminifu wa agano. Tamaduni zinazozunguka zilijua kabisa kwamba hii ilikataa kabisa misingi ya ustaarabu wao. Watu wote wawili walikataliwa na kuteswa, wakawa wahamishwa ndani ya nyumba zao. ”Ombi lao halikuwa ombi la kutojua ‘kutoa nafasi ya amani.’ Huo ulikuwa ufichuzi wa upotovu wa hila za mamlaka ya ulimwengu, ufisadi, ukosefu wa haki, na jeuri na maendeleo kupitia subira na mateso ya kimapinduzi . <\/span><\/p>\n

Kupambana na Vita sio kitu kisichoonekana cha kutamani. Sio vitendo au mpango madhubuti kufikia lengo linaloweza kutekelezwa. Ni kiolezo mbadala cha kuishi katika jamii ambayo haioni njia mbadala. Itasumbua na kuwaudhi wengine. Haijibu kwa kila uchochezi mpya kwa majibu ya kufikiria na muhimu. Inatuthubutu kusimama tuli katika Nuru ya Ndani hadi tuweze kuona vizuri. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nilisoma kitabu hiki Septemba 2016 na tena baada ya uchaguzi wa Novemba. Kuona mwitikio wa Marafiki zangu kwenye chaguzi hizo kulifanya iwe wazi kiwango ambacho Waquaker wengi wanatambua kujenga ufalme wa mbinguni kwa jukwaa la chama kimoja cha kisiasa cha Marekani. Kitabu hiki kinaweza kuwa chanjo dhidi ya hali hiyo. Inafichua misingi ya kiroho na kidini ya ushuhuda wetu dhidi ya vita. Inaweza kukusaidia kupata kusudi lako kama mshiriki mmoja wa watu mahususi. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3078578,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[9920,9971],"fpb_issue_category":[10228],"class_list":["post-3126070","fpb_book","type-fpb_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapitio-ya-kitabu-cha-quaker","category-vitabu-vya-aprili-2017","fpb_issue_category-afsc-karne"],"yoast_head":"\nKupinga Vita: Amani Hupata Kusudi la Watu wa Pekee - Friends Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/sw\/book\/kupinga-vita-amani-hupata-kusudi-la-watu-wa-pekee\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sw_KE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kupinga Vita: Amani Hupata Kusudi la Watu wa Pekee - Friends Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Na Douglas Gwyn.
