Slowing down
Christian Century, Jan 15, 2008
SLOWING DOWN: When American Quaker reformer John Woolman planned a trip to England in 1772, he learned that the English road system was known for its use of "flying coaches." These six-horse coaches were fast not because the horses ran so fast but because they started early in the morning and went for hours without stopping.
Woolman was disturbed to hear that the horses, driven to exhaustion, would frequently become blind or die. He resolved not to ride in a stagecoach in England or to send any mail via the British postal system. From his youth, Woolman believed that creatures should be treated benevolently and that humans could even learn from animals. His views on animals were shaped by the millennial vision of the peaceable kingdom in Isaiah 11:6-9 (Geoffrey Plank in Church History, September).
