"Too often, history remembers white #Quaker abolitionists, like Robert Pleasants, Warner Mifflin, Anthony Benezet, John Woolman and Benjamin Lay, but forgets the Black people who compelled them to act. The names of those who resisted—James, Grace, Jane, Jack, Dolphin, Ash, Nace and many others—must be spoken aloud." #Quakers#Religion#Spirituality#Justice#History cc: @friendsjournalhttps://www.friendsjournal.org/black-resistance-to-quaker-enslavement/

Has anyone been to a friends meeting in #SanFrancisco ? I am curious about it and would love to hear first hand experiences. Especially if you’ve brought your kids.
Waking up to the first morning at Britain Yearly Meeting 2025 in Friends House, London, and this is my first bulletin. Almost 2000 quakers attending in body or online, so hoping the fully blended experiment works. The clerks have a job I wouldn’t want.
