Two Quaker Questions regarding Peace

This month in our Quaker Meeting House on Stark Street, we have posted the "Query for the Second Month." It is prominently displayed in our meeting room where we worship in silence.

February's query invites us to consider the Quaker Peace Testimony.

I pondered on it for most of the hour of silent meditation last Sunday.

It reads:

"Do we live in the virtue of that life and power which takes away the occasion of all war? As we work for peace in the world, are we nourished by peace within ourselves?"
