Conversation To Explore Together Query: How Does Our Quaker Faith Help Us With Living Through History?

A conversation to explore together is an opportunity to listen with care and respect for each person in our community as we share our individual experience. The focus of this conversation will be our recent and current experience of being Quaker at a time when we are witnessing and encountering many changes in our nation and our world.

History is not only something that has happened, it is also what is happening now. Since the mid-seventeenth century, Quakers have survived challenges, witnessed history, responded to the events of their times, and made history. How does our awareness of this communal experience combine with our personal spiritual journeys as Friends to speak to us today?

The ARE Committee will offer guidelines for the conversation as well as a handout with some reflections from friends who lived through history before our present moment. Question contact: religiouseducation.clerk@multnomahfriends.org
