Being faithful
Steve Whiting writes about witness, faith, choice and being challenged
I remember many years ago, when I first came to Quakers, Mary, a member of the Meeting, asked if I wanted to come on a CND protest. I said probably not. She asked why. I said that, although I, of course, wanted to get rid of nuclear weapons – actually all weapons – I simply couldn’t see the campaign succeed-ing, it wasn’t the way of the world. She said nothing. She didn’t judge me, just gave me a quizzical look.
