An upcoming symposium co-sponsored by Plough will remember a range of people who resisted World War I, from peace churches to suffragists, and the impact of their stories today. Speakers will include representatives of the American Friends Service Committee, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the Hutterites, and the War Resisters League. Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour Fort Leaven- worth and experience a memorial service for all conscientious objectors of World War I. What: Remembering Muted Voices: A Sym- posium on Conscience, Dissent, Resistance, and Civil Liberties in World War I and through Today Where: The National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial, Kansas City, Missouri When: October 19–22, 2017 theworldwar.org/learn/remembering-muted-voices A Book to Build Community Noah Filipiak, a reader in Lansing, Michigan, wrote us to describe the impact that Plough’s new title Called to Community is having among members of a Christian community develop- ment group in the city. He reports: We all live in the neighborhood and meet weekly at the garden project building in the park to discuss Called to Community [edited by Charles E. Moore, Plough, 2016]. The book’s perspectives have been invaluable to us. Most of us are used to the typical American church model based on individualism. Called to Community has helped us see how most of the definitions we use for church today come from American values, not from biblical values. We all agree with these concepts, but it’s a chal- lenge to figure out how to apply them. Similarly, Mark Smith began reading the book with a small group of friends near Philadel- phia; their seeking is already developing into unanticipated forms of community: I’m finding that it’s confirming what I already know to be true. We’ve been exploring the thought of living communally or as the early church. People have been called to this expres- sion of faith for centuries, but what might be unique is the way or the magnitude in which it’s happening today. It’s exciting. plough.com/calledtocommunity Poet in This Issue: Thomas Lequin Thomas Lequin, whose poems “Testimony,” “As For Me,” and “Hanging On” appear in this issue, is a priest, farmer, fisherman, hunter, and Maine Master Guide.
