Eastern Light: Awakening to Presence in Zen, Quakerism and Christianity
by Steve Smith
reviewed by Irene Webb
Imagine the Dalai Lama comes to your part of the world and decides to visit your Meeting for Worship. This may be his first visit to an unprogrammed Friend’s meeting. After worship, during fellowship, he approaches you.
The Dali Lama asks: “Tell me about Quakers. What makes you unique?”
You respond: “We believe there is that of God in everyone.”
The award-wining 2012 documentary film, Chasing Ice, paints a beautiful and profoundly disturbing picture of the rapid retreat of glaciers from our planet. This film was made by Jim Balog, who founded the Extreme Ice Survey in 2001 to document the dramatic impact of climate change on the polar regions of our planet.
