Many of us present at 9:30 Meeting for Worship on Sunday 24 April in the Meeting House were moved and engaged by the ministries offered on the peace testimony by different Friends – all connected to the issue of the war in Ukraine.
Mention was made of the 1956 film Friendly Persuasion, a film that recounts how the pacifist beliefs of a Quaker family were tested during the American Civil War. For those wishing to watch it, it can be found on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAaoTMAy9aY.
