NEWS from QUAKER CENTER August/ September 2020

ARE YOU WILLING & ABLE TO HELP?
At this moment in time, we are holding our heads above water, financially, despite losing about $15,000 per month of budgeted income. We started out with some healthy reserves, we’ve cut back on expenditures and Friends have been exceedingly generous in offering financial support. But, as the pandemic shows no sign of going away, and as we struggle, nationally and globally, with denial and a lack of informed leadership, we are nearly certain to approach the limits of our ability to stay afloat and to chart the course. Please help, as you are able:

QUAKER QUOTES AND QUERIES

 From Strength to Love by Martin Luther King Jr.

“. . .  we must not seek to defeat or humiliate the enemy but to win his friendship and understanding. At times we are able to humiliate our worst enemy. Inevitably, his weak moments come and we are able to thrust in his side the spear of defeat. But this we must not do. Every word and deed must contribute to an understanding with the enemy and release those vast reservoirs of goodwill that have been blocked by impenetrable walls of hate.”

QUERIES: Why must we not try to defeat or humiliate our enemies? What kind of understanding can we have with our enemies?

PHOTO BY LEN VAUGHN-LAHMAN SJ MERCURY NEWS SEPT 20 2004 (w/ LABYRINTH REvans) Nestled in the woods away from the Quaker Conference Center in the mountains outside of Ben Lomond, a newly consturcted labyrinth, made of simple gravel and river rock, opens in a clearing. The brainstorm of Tom Davis (background, right) , a member of the group, his permamnent creation replaces on made of rop. The labyrinth allows prayerful meditation around a predestined course, with one way in and out. Members Traci and Walter Hjelt Sullivan (cq\'d, no hyphen in last name) are on the labyrinth with Davis.
