Envisioning A Moral Economy #405


By Tom Head What is the place of moral values in the way we structure our economy? Should the teachings of Jesus and other faith traditions be considered when we address such questions as: How is work fashioned? Where do we live? What do we own? Quaker


economist Tom Head explores how we might think about our economyﾗand its


purposesﾗin new ways by including religious sources of wisdom and morality in our vision of a just and humane economic future. About the Author Tom Head is professor of Economics and chairperson of International Studies at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon, where he has been on the faculty for over thirty years. During these decades he has also been actively involved with unprogrammed Quakers in Portland, Oregon, first as a member of Multnomah Monthly Meeting and more recently as one of the founding members of Bridge City Friends Meeting. He is nourished by the challenge of finding theological and spiritual common ground between divergent groups, Quaker and otherwise. He has a passion for interfaith work and has had a longstanding interest in the integration of religion and economics. In pursuit of putting faith into practice, he has been actively involved with a number of Quaker NGOs, including the Quaker Institute for the Future, the American Friends Service Committee, and the Quaker United Nations Office, serving as a delegate for QUNO to the World Trade Organization's Sixth Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong in 2005 and the United Nations International Conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey, Mexico, in 2002. His pamphlet Envisioning a Moral Economy grew out of his November 2008 Pendle Hill workshop on the same theme and the July 2009 Quaker Institute for the Future Summer Seminar held at the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California. Tom is grateful for the contributions of the participants in both of those events, and he welcomes reader feedback and ongoing conversation at thead@georgefox.edu.


Mind Of Christ: Bill Taber on Meeting for Business #406


Michael Birkel,


When Quakers gather to make decisions, they do so with the hope of being called into unity by the loving Spirit who guides their steps in the practice that Friends call "meeting for worship with attention to business." But too often that sense of unity and sure guidance are elusive, and instead Friends experience impatience and frustration. The late Bill Taber, a teacher and spiritual guide beloved to many Friends, addressed the rewards and challenges of Quaker business process in a number of presentations to Friends groups. Quaker scholar Michael Birkel has edited Bill's notes for these talks into an inspiring and helpful essay on how Friends can carry into business meeting the practices and attitudes that open the way to Spirit‐led decisions in our communities. Discussion questions included. About the Author Michael Birkel teaches in the Religion Department at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, where he also directs the Newlin Center for Quaker Thought and Practice. He has traveled widely among Friends as a lecturer and workshop leader. He is the author of the Pendle Hill pamphlet The Messenger That Goes Before: Reading Margaret Fell for Spiritual Nurture (#398). His other writings include an introduction to Quaker spirituality entitled Silence and Witness, a study of John Woolman's spirituality, A Near Sympathy, and an exploration of early Quaker meditative reading of the Bible, Engaging Scripture. His most recent book is Genius of the Transcendent: Mystical Writings of Jakob Boehme, which explores the spirituality of a German mystic whom some earlier Friends read with appreciation. Michael is also active in interfaith relations, particularly Muslim‐Christian dialogue.
