The January issue of Friends Journal is online. I wrote the intro this month so I’ll just quote myself:
In recent years, a number of Black Friends Journal contributors have shared heartbreaking stories of not feeling welcome in Quaker circles. As we planned this issue, we self-consciously added a question mark to the end of its title — “A Racially Diverse Society of Friends?” The choice of punctuation hints at a certain weariness — are we really still asking this? — along with the suggestion that maybe many Friends are content enough with the status quo that they might simply answer “no” to a call for diversity.
