Abstract
The austerity cuts, global inequalities, armed conflict, and many other matters that constantly hit the news headlines especially affect children. With new problems looming in 2017, Quaker traditions of respect for children are needed today more than ever. Quakers’ faith in the Divine Light in everyone is confirmed in examples of children’s courage and wisdom. During the 1680s, for example, when the authorities locked up Meeting Houses and hauled adult Friends off to prison, children in Bristol, Reading and Cambridge continued to gather for Meeting in the streets, braving taunts and vicious beatings. Children and young people aged up to 19 are one third of the people on the planet today, and societies and policies that are informed and fair take due account of them. This article reviews a range of reasons to respect children.
