Death by Television (April/May 2005 edition): Terry Gillespie' article first appeared in Church Times and is reprinted by permission. It draws attention to the damage that is being done, particularly among younger people, by the amount and frequency of violence which is nowadays shown on television, and makes the case for significantly reducing it. In particular it includes a plea that for at least one day in the year (perhaps World Peace Day) TV stations might be persuaded not to show any violent death for entertainment purposes.

Quaker Bolivia Link (October/November 2005 issue): Felicity McCartney relates her experiences participating on a study visit to Bolivia to see, in particular, the Health Centre at Amacari in a poor area on the upland plateau whose creation was supported by Irish Friends as a Millenium Project.

World Gathering of Young Friends - Epistle: To all Friends everywhere, Greetings from the World Gathering of Young Friends 2005. 226 Friends gathered together in Lancaster University, United Kingdom, from 16th - 24th August 2005. Our theme was 'I am the vine, you are the branches. Now, what fruit shall we bear?' taken from John 15; and William Penn's challenge 'Let us then try what love will do'.

France Yearly Meeting: Pauline Goggin of Limerick Meeting found herself somewhat unexpectedy at France Yearly Meeting in 2005. Its members are scattered all over that large country, but it makes up in enthusiasm what it lacks in numbers. It is helpful to small Meetings on the continent of Europe for some visitors to be present, and it is good for us at home to learn about Friends elsewhere.

Junior Meetings: From the Dec 2005-Jan 2006 issue of TFW we have selected 3 items relating to the role of children in the Meeting, from Lisburn, South Belfast, and from Coleraine.
