"The Society of Friends has never had many members, scarcely more
than 200,000 in the entire world.... But it is not the number that
matters. What counts more is their inner strength and their deeds."

awarding the Religious Society of Friends with the Nobel Peace

effective leaders and organizations? This collection of essays from

reflections on these questions. For study groups and newcomers to

pastor of Camas Friends Church Robin Mohr, Executive Secretary of
Friends World Committee for Consultation, Section of the Americas
(FWCC) Joe Volk, former Executive Secretary of Friends Committee on
