Love at the Heart of Things
Douglas Van Steere ( 1901-1995) responded to many callings: Quaker global minister, organizer of relief for war-torn Finland, ecumenical pioneer, peacemaker, Quaker visionary guide, teacher of prayer, midwife of saints, and existential realist philosopher.

Rhodes Scholars, Oxford, and the Creation of an American Elite
Each year thirty-two seniors at American universities are awarded Rhodes Scholarships, which entitle them to spend two or three years studying at the University of Oxford.

I have in mind something deeper than the simplification of our external programs, our absurdly crowded calendars of appointments through which so many pantingly and frantically gasp. These do become simplified in holy obedience, and the poise and peace we have been missing can really be found. But there is a deeper, an internal simplification of the whole of one's personality, stilled, tranquil, in childlike trust listening ever to Eternity's whisper, walking with a smile into the dark."
