Summary:

The 9/11/01 terrorist attacks prompted both an outpouring of feeling and repercussions that are still being felt around the world. Within the Quaker community, long known for its commitment to nonviolence, responses to the attacks revealed a profound diversity of thought. This anthology chronicles that discussion, challenging the reader to examine his or her own ideals of justice and responsibility in a world where violence is a brutal fact, and nonviolence is territory still being charted.
