In Quakerism "we are freed to explore, experience and express what we believe to be most deeply true. At the same time we are called to listen and attend to others and be open to the challenges and possibilities that their insights and experiences bring." quaker.org.uk/blog/telling-o…

"Quaker worship occurs when two or three people gather together regardless of place or time or length."
@JMThought explores the faith basis for meeting for worship and challenges the notion that Quakers should always meet for an hour on Sundays. quaker.org.uk/blog/are-sunda…

Nim ends with a call for compassion towards ourselves and each other: "Give yourself and each other psychological permission to make mistakes. Don't ask yourself not to make mistakes - ask yourself about the *quality* of your mistakes." #QPSWspringconf

An ally is someone who feels able to say, on behalf of those who are not present, 'they wouldn't see it that way.'
Being an ally is saying 'Friend, you are not right' when another says hurtful things. Silence in itself can be hurtful too #QPSWspringconf

It is important to recognise diversity, not to fear it, and to discuss it. "Some say we don't like conflict - 'Quakers are better at being nice than being real.' But being real is a step to understanding and being in community." #QPSWspringconf

"Diversity and inclusion is not about 'blackening the pews,' it's about ministering in the context of a larger multicultural community - class, race/ethnicity, sexuality, gender, disability, nationality & the ability/intersections of these social identities" #QPSWspringconf pic.twitter.com/OcgZMIywKu

Concerning to see moves to deny children their right to grow into their own wholeness by preventing understanding of different kinds of relationships. The affirmation and validation of same-sex relationships, in particular, is deeply important to Quakers. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/lgbt-inc…
