Quaker Quicks - Hope and Witness in Dangerous Times: Lessons From the Quakers On Blending Faith, Daily Life, and Activism

by J. Brent Bill

This book invites all people of faith to consider how our personal and communal faith practices in growing deeper spirituality should bring us to a fresh engagement with the needs of this world. This includes being active in promoting those values which align with our understanding of the gospel and standing against injustice, oppression, and evil inflicted on any of God's children. Such activism, rooted in deep spirituality, may include being what Quaker civil rights activist Bayard Rustin called “angelic troublemakers.”

This is a very solid exploration of how to ground your faith and social action so that you aren’t running after disparate threads, trying to do everything and accomplishing nothing.
