This divine whisper which enters in by the ear of the soul is not only substantial knowledge, but a manifestation also of the truths of the Divinity, and a revelation of the secret mysteries thereof. For in general, in the Holy Scriptures, every communication of God said to enter in by the ear is a manifestation of pure truths to the understanding, or a revelation of the secrets of God.
St. John of the Cross, "The Spiritual Canticle of the Soul"
Ben Witherington's recent article on the Amish and their Christian witness of pacifism is really powerful, and is a great illustration of where the Quaker Peace Witness comes from.

Mark, That is really a powerful and well-written piece. A lot of people have been inspired by the example of those Amish girls and of their families in forgiving their killer.
