Описание: A way of the cross depicts the path through Jerusalem that Jesus took on the day of his death. Indoors or outdoors, and using images such as sculptures or paintings, it has its origins in pilgrimage to the Holy Land and is intended as an aid to prayer and reflection on the crucifixion. Most common are the fourteen stations of the cross found in Catholic churches. This Quaker way is quite different in that it uses fourteen questions from the Bible to sketch key points in a Biblical perspective on life. The answers mostly take the form of compilations of Bible quotations, some rendered more freely than others. A Quaker approach to the Bible is open to the leadings of the spirit, looks for that which speaks to ones condition, avoids dogma and doctrine, and does not place the words above the spirit.
Описание: Quakers were one of the early settler colonist groups to invade northeastern North America. William Penn set out to develop a “Holy Experiment,” or utopian colony, in what is now Pennsylvania. Here, he thought, his settler colonists would live in harmony with the Indigenous Lenape and other settler colonists.Centering on the relationship between Quaker colonists and the Lenape people, Finding Right Relations explores the contradictory position of the Quakers as both egalitarian, pacifist people, and as settler colonists. This book explores major challenges to Quaker beliefs and resulting relations with American Indians from the mid-seventeenth century to the late nineteenth century. It shows how the Quakers not only failed to prevent settler colonial violence against American Indians but also perpetuated it. It provides historical examples such as the French and Indian War, the massacre of the Conestoga Indians, and the American Indian boarding schools to explore the power of colonialism to corrupt even those colonists with a belief system rooted in social justice.While this truth rubs against Quaker identity as pacifists and socially conscious, justice-minded people, the authors address how facing these truths provide ways forward for achieving restitution for the harms of the past. This book offers a path to truth-telling that is essential to the healing process.
