This book is Chuck Fager's vivid personal account of the Selma movement: how he got there, his experiences in and out of jail as a rookie civil rights worker, what he learned. It is a revealing first-person counterpart to his earlier, highly-praised historical account, .--Publisher's description.
The documentary version of this history is in a companion volume, called "Angels of Progress" .... "Remaking Friends presents this work as a story." From the Prelude.
Tom Fox was a Quaker peace worker from Virginia who was taken captive in Baghdad in November 2005 and killed in early March 2006. Three other peace workers taken captive with him were freed safely by soldiers later that month. What meaning can be found in the life and death of Tom Fox? In this small book, more than two dozen authors grapple with this challenging question. Meant for reflection and group study, their reflections are paired with passages from Tom's own writings, his blog entries and emails.--Publisher's description.
The Progressive Quakers, though long forgotten by historians, were the radical seed of activist American religion in much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They included pioneer crusaders for abolition and women's rights. They denounced authoritarianism in churches and many traditional dogmas as well. They championed the application of reason to doctrine, the Bible and theology; yet they were also welcoming to the burgeoning spiritualist movement. They also shaped the contemporary liberal stream of the Quaker religious movement. Among other outstanding figures of the era, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott and William Lloyd Garrison were associated with them. The documents in Angels of Progress, collected in print for the first time, trace where the Progressive Friends came from, sketch some of their outstanding leaders, detail their agenda for change in both society and spirituality and track their struggle for a voice and recognition. Beginning as a band of pacifists, it also shows their agony over the Civil War, which pitted one of their key values -- nonviolence, against another -- ending slavery. Then we follow their evolution and impact through the post-Civil War decades, into the first "Gilded Age," and the emergence of modern imperialism and militarism -- all issues with striking contemporary resonance. It shows their ultimate success in shaping today's liberal Quakerism, even as their separate identity faded.
