Some years ago, I did a cull of unused and largely superseded Biblical criticism which left room to expand the sections on pastoral care and green issues. This year I have continued my policy of concentrating on Quaker material which cannot easily be found in what might be called secular libraries, and so I bought some Quaker memoirs and biographies, among them: Caroline Stephen\u2019s Quaker Strongholds<\/em>, Ada Salter\u2019s Pioneer of Ethical Socialis<\/em>, and Martin Kuhn\u2019s Grandmother\u2019s Footsteps<\/em>.<\/p>\n
