Harnessing outrage - preview
Chas Raws asks whether Friends have something unique to offer
In his book Bury the Chains, Adam Hochschild writes of the campaign to abolish the slave trade: 'It was the first time that a large number of people in one country became outraged, and stayed outraged for years, over the plight of other people, of another colour, in other parts of the world' I think 'outrage' describes the feeling of those of us who are working with and for asylum seekers in Britain – outraged by the plight of people from other parts of the world – and ashamed of the way our country is treating them But are there enough of us to effect change? If not, how can we best recruit more 'outragees'? And is there a role for Quakers here?
