"My journey into faith and with faith and through faith is primarily to do with seeking a direct connection and communication with the Divine," Tim Gee explains—and for a long time, that led to Scripture taking a back seat. So how did Tim come to find solace and support in the Bible?

I told them I lived in the virtue of that life and power that took away the occasion of all wars (George Fox). #Quakers #Ukraine Я сказав їм, що живу чеснотами такого життя і сили, які позбавляють сенсу усі війни (Джордж Фокс). #Квакери #мир #молитва youtu.be/A94SmgkDKq4

The Beloved Community, the New Jerusalem described in Revelation, requires no temple because the covenantal relationship with God informs every inch of its territory. (Rev 21:22) The people have no need of a “steeple-house,” as George Fox would say, to show their love for God and their neighbors.

"The Quaker understanding of continuing revelation and freedom from dogma, especially in the light of a Zen perspective, calls for a refined understanding of faith. Faith has commonly been used to mean belief in something. If there is no doctrine to believe in, what does faith mean?"

Labor wasted to produce tools of bloodshed might better be used for peaceful #reforms, to beat swords into plowshares: #Quakers youtu.be/m1h83ArYb20 Зайву працю з виробництва знарядь кровопролиття краще б використати для #реформи, перекувати мечі на лемеші, буде #мир: #Квакери

Peace has been at the core of Quaker faith from early in our history. It springs from our belief that there is ‘that of God’ in everyone. Quakers from across Britain spoke to us about what radical peacemaking means to them and how these values are reflected in their lives. youtu.be/rl-wvgHgwHA

A quote from Margaret Fell (1614-1702), sometimes known as the 'Mother of Quakerism'. #Quakers #QuakersIreland #FaithInAction

#Папа #Франциск був світлом миру для світу, і #людство має почути його заклик зупинити всі війни / Pope Francis was a beacon of peace for the world, and the humankind must hear his call to end all wars (in Ukrainian) www.civilni.media/253/ #мир

We mourn the passing of Pope Francis. He was a moral light who lived out our shared calling to love our neighbors, no exceptions. We are holding him, our Roman Catholic friends, and all those grieving him in the Light.
