QEW Website

The recent revamping of the QEW website has been a major, year-long project to 1) make the site more reflective of the current QEW structure, programs, and interests, 2) streamline the task of updating the content of the website, and 3) integrate the website better with other sites of related interest.

Booklets on the QEW website

Also on this website are two booklets, in pdf format for on-line reading or downloading, that may be of interest to QEW supporters that were not originally published by QEW:

• Walking in the Light--Rediscovering John Woolman's Message for the 21st Century, by Louis Cox and Ruah Swennerfelt. This is a 20-page study guide that was distributed free to Friends meetings and churches on the West Coast of the U.S., in support of their 2007-2008 Peace For Earth Walk.
• Quakers and the New Story--Essays on Science and Spirituality, by Philip Clayton, Mary Coelho, and the New Story Study Group of Friends Meeting at Cambridge, Mass. This 27-page booklet describes “some of the revolutionary changes that have taken place within the sciences in recent years. Indeed, a variety of interpreters of science are suggesting that the ‘new story’ that science is telling actually supports something very much like traditional Quaker ways of conceiving reality.” Its goal is “to introduce readers to these changes in the world view of science, which seem to bring it closer to the spirit of Quaker belief and practice.” The web version is illustrated with color paintings by Mary Coelho and Angela Manno.
