Peace 350

The Friend reports on the QPSW peace workshop at YMG

by Symon Hill 12th August 2011

Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW) have rededicated themselves to active nonviolence with a new declaration based on comments from Meetings across Britain.  While the word ‘pacifism’ does not appear, the statement declares: ‘We are convinced that no end can justify the means of killing another human being’. It has been issued 350 years after the first collective declaration of the Quaker peace testimony.
