ABSTRACT
This chapter agrees that the main focus of action must be on the development of the movement itself and the building of a new society within the shell of the old. This is consistent with our Quaker-Christian insight that it begins to live the Kingdom now, by being open to its Spirit and conforming our individual and common lives to its principles. The chapter supports all efforts to change the practices and policies of the American government and business so that they will eliminate the hunger and malnutrition which afflict some ten million destitute Americans, even though the changes required to bring everyone an adequate diet would not necessarily be revolutionary. It sympathizes with the French theoretician Andre Gorz that it is possible to work for revolutionary reforms i.e., "reforms which advance toward a radical transformation of society".
