Synopsis
Professor William McClelland’s Quaker beliefs continued to influence his view of the world, and his 1976 Swarthmore Lecture to Britain’s Society of Friends, published as And a New Earth, examined how tomorrow’s society might improve upon today’s. “So we should be concerned with society as well as the individual, with social change as well as social service, with reform as well as relief: attempting not just to alleviate the consequences of war and poverty and other evils, but to identify their roots and eradicate them.”
