Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)
Do I bring the Light of Peace to my work and play?
Do I treat conflict as a real opportunity for growth, and seek resolution that increases the experience of peace for all? Do I seek to recognize and respect the Divine in those with whom I disagree?
Do I weigh my daily activities for their power to build peace, resolve conflict and eliminate violence?
How do I witness to Friends' testimony that both civilian and military participation in war are inconsistent with the teaching and the spirit of Christ?
Being mindful of the tragic consequences of indifference, timidity and procrastination, do I wage peace boldly, and respond positively as I am called?
