Prophetic Quaker Witness
April 2026: Prophetic Witness is how our Quaker faith translates into action: how we listen to the still, small voice and follow our leadings in our daily lives. From the beginnings of Quakerism, Friends have seen the intimate connection between a rich prayer life and taking action against injustice and inequity. This is how Quakers “let our lives speak.”

“The words we Friends use to describe our prophetic witness ministry—testimony and witness—are judicial terms. They come from a time when Friends believed the world to be under God’s judgment, when we believed ourselves to be witnesses for the prosecution, testifying with our words to the character of God’s judgment, presenting our testimony as God’s righteous indictment of a world fallen out of the Life, and testifying with our lives to the way God wanted humans to walk over the world toward its restoration in Christ.”
