Peacefulness

This timely book offers an intelligible narrative of peacefulness. These stories not only resonate with deep human needs and spiritual longing but also inspire the reader to reimagine the possibility of global peace. In contrast to 20th century peace studies, which were often undertaken within the context of warfare and violence, this book argues that peace is the most fundamental of all human values and peacefulness an inherent human virtue and disposition, and a primary character of the universe. At the same time, it proposes that peace cannot be fully expressed as our innate state of being without it being also the structural condition of the society and vice versa. 

Faith and Experience in Education: Essays from Quaker perspectives

April 2018 | Quaker Values in Education Group
This new book contains substantial essays by Quakers who have worked within the state school system. The authors give extraordinary insights from their experience, relating their thinking to testimonies, so education and our values might be aligned within a system that treats children as economic units and underestimates the challenges of educating in a diverse and unequal society. It will be of interest to many Quakers, but is also addressed beyond Friends to others of diverse beliefs and motivations who are interested and concerned about education and human values.
Copies are available from Friends House Quaker Bookshop.

The Cosmic Hologram

Exploring how information is more fundamental than energy, matter, space, or time, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., examines the latest research across many fields of study and many scales of existence to show how our Universe is in-formed and holographically manifested. Demonstrating how information is physically real, the author explores how consciousness connects us to the many interconnected layers of universal in-formation, making us both manifestations and co-creators of the cosmic hologram of reality. She explains how Quantum Mechanics and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity can at last be reconciled if we consider energy-matter and space-time as complementary expressions of information, and she explores how the cosmic hologram underlies the true origin of species and our own evolution.
