What prophetic witness means to Quakers
“Prophetic witness means… that there’s another possibility that is equally real and perhaps more real, and we’re choosing to live in allegiance to that. That becomes an opposition to all that is contrary to human flourishing and to justice and to wholeness and to healing.
So my hope and my prayer is that each of us will be faithful to what we’re given, and to trust that there is a greater love at work, even in these dark times, and especially, in fact, in these times.”
