I got an email recently from one of Marian’s Lancashire Quakers Friends, Joanne. Joanne said she thought activism was the preserve of younger adults, but had to rapidly revise her opinions when she met an 80 year old called Marian Penny. Joanne says Marian espoused support of such things as meditation for prisoners and the teaching of peace in our schools, not necessarily mainstream viewpoints. And as Joanne says, with a quiet consistency.
