Friends Quarterly
The Friend's sister publication
The new issue of the Friends Quarterly, the sister publication of the Friend, is published this week. It includes a moving personal testament from Stephen Yeo setting out for his family after him the basis of his belief. David Hamilton considers the nonviolence that Jesus offered as an assertive rather than passive response, while Hugh Rock examines Quakerism as the ‘religion of what is done’. Jessica Metheringham has developed the themes from her George Gorman lecture about equality and inequality, and Jan Arriens writes about the interrelationship of faith and action, between a gathered Meeting and the world outside.
Single copies of the Friends Quarterly are available from the Quaker Bookshop, or from Penny Dunn at subs@thefriend.org. For subscriptions, contact Penny or go online via www.thefriend.org/subscribe.
The editor of the Friends Quarterly, Tony Stoller, is always pleased to see draft articles from Friends and others for consideration for the Quarterly. This provides an opportunity to publish longer articles than the Friend can carry – typically between 2,500 and 4,500 words – on Quaker issues or on subjects of interest to Friends. These can often be articles drawn from talks given to small audiences which deserve a wider reading, or papers setting out areas of study and perception.
Draft articles should be sent by email to tony@thefriend.org as Word documents, preferably with minimal formatting. Any enquiries about whether a possible piece might be suitable are also welcome at the same email address.
