I am also a member of Albuquerque Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)."[5] Hayes is a noted essayist (Land of No Buddha) and blogger (New City of Friends, Out of a Living Silence) of considerable wit and clarity. He has expressed vehement political opinions, and been critical in particular of Republican politicians. (Source Accessed Oct 9, 2024) |
