"We are witnessing 355 years of pace making and resistance to war by the Quakers in both Europe particularly and the US. and the way in which Quakers have promoted dialogue to prevent war, promoted dialogue to limit law and End War and then been involved in a lot of healing and peacemaking after war to prevent a further war happening.
The problem with war is that it's sows the seeds of the next war. So you have to finish the war and do the healing afterwards. And then we hope and pray that an further war doesn't happen. The problem tis that in the way that war is waged and that Australia is involved in is that that that level of constant dialogue and building of trust and hearing other points of view is not given serious attention this too much attention on bombing and killing and destroying and trying to make the other side lose - and war is not solved by a side losing its solved by resolution of the conflict" The Quaker Grannies 4 Peace.
