Christian Action Council Statement on Nuclear Weapons Production

Queries
"In using these queries for self and group examination, Friends are urged to recall that rather than following rules, we are following our leading to hold all things in the Light. Prayerful consideration of queries is directed toward exploring and enlivening the meeting's growth in faith and practice. They help Friends attend to the Light and consider the extent to which current practice gives witness to faith." This quotation and the following queries are a sampling from A Guide to Our Faith and Our Practice, 1990, published by the Southern Appalachian Yearly Meeting and Association of the Religious Society of Friends. This is the yearly meeting to which the Columbia Monthly Meeting of Friends belongs.
