To be spiritual is inevitably political

“To be spiritual requires me to live in such a way that it conflicts with the usual way of doing things, and so it is inevitably political. But not acting at all in the public realm is a vote for business as usual.”

— Gill Westcott, 2014
Quaker climate activist
