Hope and Witness in Dangerous Times

Brent Bill’s latest book is published by Christian Alternative, August 2021.

Join Quaker author Brent Bill as he shares from his new book, Hope and Witness in Dangerous Times: Lessons from the Quakers on Blending Faith, Daily Life, and Activism. Brent invites us to consider how our personal and communal faith practices bring us engagement with the needs of this world. This includes being active in promoting those values which align with our understanding of the gospel and standing against injustice, oppression, and evil inflicted on any of God’s children. Such activism, rooted in deep spirituality, may include being what Quaker civil rights activist Bayard Rustin called “angelic troublemakers.”
