Authored by:
James Summers
I remember what it felt like, during the last two years of the Vietnam War, to go into town wearing my US Navy uniform. Often, I felt invisible. Sometimes, just silly. Frequently, I got the cold shoulder. A couple of times things got close to getting physical.

He knew nothing about me, my job, my personal history, or my values.

Barbara Flynn

In 2006, Evo Morales, an Aymara peasant leader, became the first indigenous president in South America.

Authored by:
David Tucker

Barbara Schell Luetke uses Early Friends as a canvas on which to paint a coming-of-age portrait of individual convincement, ministry, and faithful struggle in her historical novel The Kendall Sparrow. The novel explores the seventeenth-century life and circumstances of Elizabeth Fletcher, but the parallels for today’s young Friends are resonant.
