The Israel in Your Jacob A Cover to Match the Book: Finding the Israel in Your Jacob Something more in a nameGreat essay, Mark. I also feel there is something more in a name. We can either pick a new name or look in a different manner at the one we have. My last name is Schaefer. It means shepherd. I have been examining this name for years. My daughter is an artist and drew a picture of a shepherd with sheep and with calligraphy wrote SCHAEFER under the picture. It means very much to me on many levels. My confirmation name is James. I actually took it because the bishop who confirmed me was named James and we shared a birthday. Perhaps a shallow reason but the spirit has guides me to hold the name James in the Light and discern that the author of James wrote about social justice and righteousness. Thanks for all you do.

I may ask to play it at our next Prospect Hill Friends Mtg's "3rd Friday!" so that we'll have time to listen and discuss. I want these local Quakers, most of whom haven't been to FGC or FLGBTQ events to have a chance to experience Bonnie's clear leadings and actions, and her influence on the world.

She was attending the annual Gathering of Friends held by Friends General Conference. More information can be found here. I saw her grow through her anger into the loving person you hear in this program, and which she described near the end of this program. She was faithful to her leadings -- the highest compliment one Quaker can pay to another. Eric Kristensen (not verified)

The world was diminished when we lost Bonnie and her ministry of advocacy for equal rights due to a tragic accident last week. Mona Cardell (not verified)
photo of Friends from Rwanda Rwandan Witness - Friends at Ground Zero Wow -- I was so touched byWow -- I was so touched by the interviews with those from Rwanda's Friends Peace House. How uplifting to hear of the wonderful work they do with children and with reconciliation as a result of the terrible atrocities there in 1994. I was moved to tears by the man who has not only forgiven those who killed members of his family, but is actually friends with those men. Incredible. Thanks for this eye-opening and heart-warming interview. Kathryn Erskine (not verified)
