"I can't speak to the question about songwriting, as I have little experience in that field (I did write one song, years ago-- or rather, I collaborated with a musician, writing the lyric).

anne stansell replied to Don Shabkie's discussion 'Peace Testimony and the Taliban' in the group Peace & Witness"Rosemary,
I guess that is the case, I really don't know what the outcome of the committee meeting was. When the committee person told me that the people she contacted, declined to write a letter, I just said thats fine. I wrote one for myself…"

Thanks for the link I will check it out. There was some question raised about writing our Senators and such but the people that were contacted in the meeting declined. I wrote my letters and sent them.Anyway I will definitely check the…"
anne stansell left a comment for Jeffery Agnew"Thanks for your concern. I just felt misunderstood.A.S."
anne stansell replied to Don Shabkie's discussion 'Peace Testimony and the Taliban' in the group Peace & Witness"Forrest and Jeff,
First off I did not call anyone evil. I was referring to the acts themselves. Yes, we all can commit evil acts. There are a lot of Quakers who feel we, as part of our country are implicit in the evil of war. So, with that cleared…"
anne stansell replied to Don Shabkie's discussion 'Peace Testimony and the Taliban' in the group Peace & Witness"Forest, It is true to say we can't stop all violence. I am not sure what you mean by "trying to do good practical means" What good does it do to tell people who are starving, brutalized and murdered to be "warmed and…"

anne stansell replied to anne stansell's discussion 'Are Quakers Afraid of self-expression?' in the group Music and the Arts"True enough Rosemary, that being said, there are a lot of cautions put out there. I have heard people express a reluctance to have their words questioned. Maybe thats the rub, people just have to say what they believe there supposed to say, and if…"
Rosemary Gould replied to anne stansell's discussion 'Are Quakers Afraid of self-expression?' in the group Music and the Arts"At the same time, if no one ever said anything about what we hope might happen in Worship and how it grows out of stillness within, meeting would often devolve into nothing but talk. There's something beyond self expression that we strive for,…"
anne stansell commented on Forrest Curo's blog post 'Stumbling Toward Jesus Again'"Thanks for the explanation, sound historically sound and sensible. A.S."
anne stansell replied to anne stansell's discussion 'Are Quakers Afraid of self-expression?' in the group Music and the Arts"You mentioned in an earlier post, you have to risk, to speak. Even if you don't like the response. Of course we can be and often are wrong, but if you don't speak where you are, how can you ever get anywhere else? As far as people…"
