To concerned Friends:
 
On February 12, 2006, the Gainesville Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends approved the following minute: “We are saddened by all of the lives that have been lost and those that have been damaged by the war against Iraq. We take heart that there are those who, with courage and integrity, express our deeply held belief that there is that of God in every person, by risking their lives to stand in the way of war. We hold in the Light the Christian Peacemaker Teams; those who have been held hostage: Tom Fox, Norman Kember, James Loney, and Harmeet Sooden; the members of the Swords of Righteousness Brigade who hold them; and the families and friend of the hostages. We pray that the Peace of God that passes understanding will be felt by all, enabling a swift release without harm to anyone, and the easing of all present anxiety.”
