Kväkarnas andakt är stilla.
Kväkarnas vittnesbörd är inte alltid stilla.
Den här korta videon från Minneapolis visar Friends som protesterar mot ICE och står upp för människor som hotas.
Kväkare har en lång historia av att stå emot orättvisa, från Underground Railroad till dagens sanctuary-arbete.
Bön, stillhet och handling hör ihop.

The American anthropologist Bruce Mannheim notes that “#Quechua is the only #language centered on the other.” We can paraphrase this by saying that the #Aymara communication system is centered on #jiwasa, the “we-being” or “communal we”; this is why it is difficult to separate oneself from the other, the principle of jiwasa always includes even the enemy. cc: @friendsjournal #Quakers #Linguistics #FirstNations #NativeAmericans #History #Culture #Colonialism #Religion https://www.friendsjournal.org/jiwasa-the-communal-we/

Oh I wish I could be there: “#Quakers are organising a #MeetingForWorship outside #NewScotlandYard” I feel very strongly about the sanctity of honest religious places.

#Quakers condemn arrests of #activists at meeting house
March 30, 2025
"The arrests of six female supporters of activist group #YouthDemand at a Quaker meeting house have been condemned by the faith group.
"Quakers in #Britain said the arrests were the first at a meeting house and 'an aggressive violation'.
"The Metropolitan Police said six people were arrested on Thursday evening at the Westminster Meeting House on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a #PublicNuisance.
"The force said it came amid concerns there were plans to 'shut down' London during April using tactics such as road blocks.
"Youth Demand said more than 30 officers were involved with making the arrests.
"Paul Parker, of Quakers in Britain, said he could not recall anyone being arrested at a Quaker meeting house in living memory.
"'The forceful removal of young people holding a protest group meeting clearly shows what happens when a society #CriminalisesProtest.
"'#FreedomOfSpeech, assembly, and fair trials are an essential part of free public debate which underpins #democracy,' he said.
"Police said a further five arrests for the same offence were made on Friday - four at addresses in #London and one in #Exeter.
"Youth Demand, which is not affiliated with the Quakers, said the meeting was 'an opportunity to share plans for non-violent #CivilResistance actions' due to take place in April.
"The group claimed a number of houses were also raided on Thursday and Friday as part of the operation.
"Quakers in Britain said: 'Quakers support the right to non-violent public protest, acting themselves from a deep moral imperative to stand up against #injustice and for our planet.
"'Many have taken non-violent direct action over the centuries from the abolition of #slavery to women's #suffrage and prison reform.'
"The Met said the force understood the importance of the right to protest but added that Youth Demand had stated an intention to 'shut down' London in April.
"'We have a responsibility to intervene to prevent activity that crosses the line from protest into serious disruption and other criminality,' a spokesman said.
"On Thursday, officers raided a Youth Demand planning meeting where those in attendance were plotting their April action.
"Six people were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.
"A further five arrests for the same offence were made on Friday, 28 March. Four of the arrests were at addresses in London and one in Exeter.
'Policing priorities'
"Out of the 11 people arrested, 10 have been released on bail and one will face no further action.
"Asked about the matter on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: 'I have made clear to the police this government's priorities for policing are reducing serious violence... and bringing back neighbourhood policing, those crimes in town centres like shoplifting.'
"Youth Demand, which describes itself as a 'new youth resistance campaign fighting for an end to #genocide', began carrying out acts of #CivilDisobedience last year.
"Its demands of the government include stopping all trade with #Israel and raising money from 'the #SuperRich and #Fossilfuel #elite' to pay damages for the effects of fossil fuel burning."

#Quakers #Community #Spirituality #Nontheist #Nonhierarchical #Pacifist #Anitiracist #Readical
I am amazed! This is probably the first branch of Western spirituality, that is not incompatible with anarchism. Inclusive, nonhierarchical, and radical af - antiwar, anti-slavery and anti-discrimination.Some of us understand “God” as a symbol of human values and some of us avoid the concept while accepting it as significant to others. We differ greatly in our religious experience and in the meaning we give religious terms.
We are not a pressure group trying to move Quakerism toward nontheism. We bless what our theist brothers and sisters bring to Quaker meetings and worship. All Friends have much to learn from each other. We hope to strengthen the Quaker tradition of welcoming people of diverse religious experience and to show by example that this can include nontheists.

Time for a bit more about me..
I belong to Quaker Rainbow UK, a group of LGBTQ+ Friends & our allies. Our 50th anniversary was on 2023! It started as FHF Friends Homosexual Fellowship after a conference in Manchester 7 Sept 1973, one of the first groups within a religious body to support lesbian & gay folk in the 70s & the first in UK to affirm & celebrate equal marriage. That was one of the reasons I was drawn to quakerism. Another is the openness of UK Quakers to affirm folk of all kinds of religious or non-religious persuasion. Me I’ve since settled into a humanist/non-theist outlook. Another is the centuries (since the 1650s!) of hard learning that quakers have undertaken: how to abandon practises in human societies that have caused much suffering such as slavery, violence, war, the social class hierarchy, alcoholism, & in our day, the plundering & devastation of our planet

#SilentSunday
Time in the garden, drawn by the mahonia aquifolium (or is it a berberis? there seems to be some confusion between the two) which forms part of the roadside hedge - totally covered in typical spring time yellow.A few minutes there, seems a good way of transitioning from the silence of the #QuakerMeeting, back into the world.
