Post Easter thoughts
Traditional Christian Quakers will have noticed The Friend did not mark Easter last issue We have made a song-and-dance about the bicentenary of the Slave Trade Act, we have explored in great detail the alternatives to prison and we have brought news of Quaker resistance to nuclear armaments But what did we have to say about Jesus?
Friend Comments always reflect the writer's personal perspective, in keeping I believe, with the Quaker injunction to personal experience of faith And my own feelings at Easter – particularly Good Friday when these thoughts were written down – are always the same An agonising reminder of how Homo sapiens has the capacity to murder beauty
Judy Kirby & Philip Austin
