You may have been invited by the clerk of your Meeting to offer a nomination for next year's Nobel peace prize. Quakers have been recipients in the past and are in that privileged position of nominating names to the Oslo committee. Alfred Nobel wrote in his will that the peace prize should go to 'the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.' We are thinking hard.
