May 16 Quakerism 101 Session Explores Quaker Service Orgs
LEYM’s Quakerism 101 Series continues in May. Join Friends online on Thursday May 16 (7pm) as members of Red Cedar Meeting present a session on “Quakers in Service to the Wider World.” This session will be focused on how Quakers extend the practice of our testimonies — particularly those of peace, equality, community, and stewardship — to society at large, both within the US and internationally. Jamie Archer, Pat Grauer, and Susan Waltz will talk about their experiences working with three Quaker organizations carrying out such work: the American Friends Service Committee, the Friends Committee on National Legislation, and the Quaker United Nations Office. Each Friend will speak briefly about the mission and past and current work done by the organization and how and why they personally got involved. Finally, they’ll tell you how you too can get involved and answer any questions. Get the event flyer here.
Join us on Zoom on Thursday May 16 at 7:00 PM.
