Our nation is at a crossroads[Back to Top | Back to List of Articles ]The meeting approved sending the following letter to media, congresspeople, etc. at the October 14, 2002 meeting for Business.
Down one road is an abundant life. The United States could lead the world toward removing the burdens of ignorance, disease, poverty, violence and environmental destruction. We could bring the community of nations together in peace, justice, and respect.
Down the other road lies endless war, suspicion, and hatred. Going down this road will postpone solving the world?s problems. Indeed, the problems will multiply.
In the name of national security our country has started down the wrong road. We have it within our power to turn around and take the road to life for all.
The Chapel Hill Friends Meeting urges those who have the power of decision to listen to the voices of the people and their own conscience and choose the road to life.
