Fall UFM Retreat: Equality

Theme for Fall Retreat: Peace and Social Concerns Committee inquires “Ever look at the state of the world and think Quaker testimonies could be part of the answer?

Peace and Social Concerns will be providing content for the (fall 2011 but we don't know the date) Meeting retreat. The theme will be the negative impact of inequality. We’d like at least some Friends to read The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett. There will be copies in our Library and the Seattle Public Library. Also available in paperback: Bloomsbury Press, 2009.


RantWoman is absurdly happy to note the following.
The book can be downloaded as an e-book from http://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Level-Equality-Societies-ebook/dp/B003TWOK70/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1313365481&sr=1-1


RantWoman might be a TEENSY bit happier if those posting this announcement had made the effort to check availability in a format accessible to RantWoman, but for now RantWoman is happy for once that the problem is solved.
