"Quakers respect the creative power of God in every human being and in the world around us. We work through quiet processes for a world where peaceful means bring about just settlements."

 

On 14 January we were joined by members from the Area meeting for a very enjoyable study day with Ben Pink Dandelion entitled ‘Renewing Quaker Community’. Now we need to use the ideas discussed to produce actions that can help us deepen the spirituality of our Meetings.

In this year of commemoration of the death of the Quaker John Woolman in York 250 years ago, we are reminded of his words:

"There is a principle which is pure, placed in the human mind, which in different places and ages hath different names, it is however pure and proceeds from God. It is deep and inward, confined to no forms of religion or excluded from any where the heart stands in perfect sincerity.

In whomsoever this takes root and grows of what nation soever, they become brethren." (16.11.22)

On Sunday 13 November, Devizes Quakers supported by others from the Christian community in Devizes laid a wreath of white poppies in commemoration of all who have died as a result of conflict and to pray for active efforts to create peace.(16.11.22)
