4	Quaker Quest Quaker Quest is a dynamic and transformative inreach and outreach process based on the experience that the Quaker way is a spiritual path for our time that is simple, radical, and contemporary. Success is defined by the positive energy that the Quaker Quest experience brings to the meeting, by the way current participants feel included into the life of the community, by the experiences of transformation that occur throughout the process, by the increased exposure that the meeting has in the local community, by having seekers come to the public sessions, and by having newcomers attend worship. Since its beginnings in the United States and Canada with one meeting in 2007, through the summer of 2010, over eighty meetings, churches, and other Quaker bodies across the United States and Canada have participated in the Quaker Quest process.	201

19	RSWR- Right Sharing of World Resouorces RSWR offers a process of grassroots development whereby more and more people achieve a flourishing 'quality of life' or well being. Development is also a process, which, if it occurs as it should, is an expression of peace, justice and a right ordering with the natural world. God calls us to the right sharing of world resources, from the burdens of materialism and poverty into the abundance of God's love, to work for equity through partnerships with our sisters and brothers throughout the world. People in the developing world often have little or no access to capital. Right Sharing grants provide seed money which is recycled within a community. RSWR supplies each project with no more than $5,000 per year, the idea being to provide just enough capital to 'prime the pump.' After receiving RSWR funds, organizations and communities are frequently able to obtain local funding. By giving small grants, Right Sharing is able to prime as many pumps as possible with our limited resources.	105

Over the years, Jane Fonda came and went. So did Sixties radicalism. The house was spied on and firebombed. Founding staff died in a car wreck. Nowadays, Chuck Fager is the director. While dozens of similar projects died out, Quaker House stayed alive and kept working. It operates a GI Rights Hotline. Iraq. Afghanistan. Torture. AWOLs and resisters. Truth In Recruiting. Violence within the military.	41
