Abby will look at questions of how to be a pacifist when fighting seems the right option, is “good war” an oxymoron? Readings will include In Flanders Fields and a section from the Hebrew Scriptures where Abby’s name sake (Abigail) is featured – Abigail is the only woman in the Hebrew Scriptures who is described as both intelligent and beautiful. Abby promises that her reflection will be shorter than the novel of the same name.
