‘Our peace work is our evangelism’ is one of the explanations that Friends in the Congo give when people ask why they work on peace and conflict resolution.
Violence has been a ‘defining narrative’ in a number of African countries and Quakers have made, and continue to make, a significant contribution in the area. A number of Friends from the Congo and Rwanda are among the hundreds of African Quakers in attendance at the Sixth World Conference of Friends at Kabarak University in Kenya, organized by the Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC). Their experience of working for peace is shared by many African Friends at Kabarak.
"If you truly want to be led you must put yourself in a position that allows following" (PYM)
Though written within a Quaker and Christian context, this book can be used by anyone of any religious faith or secular inclination. The only requirement is a desire to follow, to be guided by, to align with the richness of the ineffable, which this book calls "the Way". This book seeks nothing less than to aid readers in aligning their lives with the same power and richness that animated the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
