Community
Quakerism is an experiential faith. We come together to learn how to put into daily practice our tenets of:
-
- simplicity & stewardship
- peacefulness
- integrity
- community
- equality
Each person’s path may be different but the shared journey deepens and enriches our lives. We welcome everyone to our fellowship.
We provide opportunities for both children and adults for religious education and spiritual growth including:
-
- Sunday classes and forums
- Bible Study
- in-depth exploration of spiritual paths
We also offer service activities, a meditative retreat center in Amelia County, shared meals, and opportunities for friendship and community building.
Social Action
Quakers have been on the leading edge of peacemaking and human rights issues for hundreds of years. Our roots in prison reform, anti-slavery, women’s suffrage, and
peacemaking undergird today’s missions, among them are:
-
- Welcoming migrants into our community with concerned awareness of the challenges they face
- Welcoming all people of any sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions with a concerned awareness of the challenges they face
- Finding alternatives to violence
- Caring for the earth
- Acknowledging our Meeting’s history of actions (and inactions) with race and racism and resolving to take steps of restorative justice
Some of our decisions on peace and social justice can be found HERE. We seek not only to understand the issues but also to take considered, concrete action to bring about change.
