Peace and justice
Lisa Shend’ge was prompted to reflect on peace and justice by an address she gave for The Women’s World Day of Prayer last year.

As a Quaker, I am convinced that each one of us is ‘unique, precious, a child of God’. If that is so, then, surely, the world should be a peaceful, just and fair place for every one of God’s children, whoever and wherever they may be. Martin Luther King said: ‘Without justice there can be no peace.’ I believe that to be true, that if we are to have peace, we must have justice. What does that mean? What is justice?
