Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
Interview with Michael Gagne
I had such a lovely and inspiring interview with Michael Gagne for my piece on Quakers and Occupy (which you can listen to here), that I thought I'd publish more from our conversation.
Hear Michael's thoughts on Quakers' recent rather stagnant history with social action; how, as Quakers, we should approach the 1%; and the importance of both love and courage for the future of this movement. Michael Gagne works as the Eco-Justice coordinator at Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, and is opening a new Envision Peace Museum in Philadelphia. He lives with his wife and daughter at Pendle Hill.
