World Quaker Day 2026: Let Peace Be Among Us (with Guest Editor Friends World Committee for Consultation)
September 28-October 4, 2026: This week’s messages are guest edited by Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) who are planning a global online meeting for worship on October 4 (World Quaker Day). The theme is Let Peace Be Among Us. The plan is to reach across many time zones from the Americas to Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Each hour of worship will be dedicated to, and hosted by, a different part of the world where prayers for peace are particularly needed. We’d love for you to join us. Register here to get involved.

Peacemaking is asking the hard questions
“‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ does not mean greeting each other and shaking hands. It means looking one another in the eye and asking: how have we historically marginalised? How have we justified violence against women? How have we pretended to make peace by giving handouts without asking why people are in need?”
