Some JWN readers have asked me to post info about my upcoming speaking engagements. Sorry about the short notice, but if you live in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US, here's what I'm doing in the next few days. Do come if you can-- and tell your friends!

Monday, Sept. 20, Philadelphia: 7 - 9 p.m. I'll be participating in a panel discussion on "Pacifism in the age of terrorism" at the historic Arch Street Meeting House, located at Arch and 4th.

This is the kick-off for a two-day celebration of the International Day of Peace that's being organized by the Earlham School of Religion, a Quaker seminary headquartered in the midwest. Appearing during the next day of the celebration will be Nobel Peace Laureate Betty Williams.

Tuesday, Sept. 21, Washington DC: Noon - 1 p.m. I'm participating in an event to help launch our Quaker book on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, at the Middle East Institute, 1761 N St, NW. Jim Matlack, another of the book's co-authors, and I will describe the book, read some short excerpts, and answer questions. There'll be copies for sale afterwards.

I'm sorry that the relevant link on MEI's website doesn't work. But if you have questions call their Programs and Events Dept at 202-785-1141 ext. 202.... and

Wednesday, Sept. 22, Charlottesville VA: 5:30 - 7 p.m. I'll be doing another event related to the Quaker book. This one is co-sponsored by the C'ville Center for Peace and Justice and New Dominion Bookshop and will be held at N.D. Bookshop at 404 E. Main St. on the Downtown Mall.

Light refreshments will be served, and copies of the book will be available.

This is a lot easier then you might think. The first time I went to a poker site, like most of you, I was very eager to get started immediately.
