I call myself a Quaker or Friend, and Friends throughout history have maintained a testimony for peace. War, we say, is contrary to the mind of Christ, and it is laid upon us to live in the virtue of that life and power that wins through love and not war. This is not an easy testimony, and it has three aspects:
To refuse to take part in acts of war ourselves;
To strive to remove the causes of war;
To use the way of love open to us to promote peace and heal wounds.
