An Interview with Sally Hindham

Abstract: Abstract ‘I am a Quaker!’ A blond-haired student in a plain grey and white dress introduced herself and I was electrified. Her name was Sally Hindman and we were sitting together in Japanese Professor Masao Abe’s class on Christian-Buddhist dialogue. This was in the Berkeley Pacific School of Religion, where I first met Sally back in 1988. I wanted to get to know one of these Quaker ‘species,’ who I thought were living according to an old-style American religion. I very quickly learnt that I was fundamentally wrong! In Sally’s room she had a life-size sculpture of Mary which belonged to a group of 13, including the 12 apostles, which Sally had created as an art student. In a Quaker campaign on Tax Day she had placed them in front of the US Tax IRS building in a protest against using taxes for military purposes: ‘Would Jesus pay taxes for killing?’ said their protest signs. The Quaker movement’s concern for justice and peace had thrown her right into present-day politics. Fig 24.1 Sally Hindham
