Autumn Faith in Action Gathering - Bayard Rustin edition
"My activism did not spring from being black. Rather, it is rooted fundamentally in my Quaker upbringing and the values instilled in me by the grandparents who reared me... Those values were based on the concept of a single human family and the belief that all members of that family are equal."
Bayard Rustin, Quaker and proponent of nonviolence
Are you seeking a deeper spiritual connection with making positive change in the world?
Do you feel the need to rejuvenate your energy for action by connecting with a wider community?
Are you Quaker-curious or a Quaker who puts your faith into action?
This gathering is for you. Welcome to Faith in Action Gatherings, rejuvenating spaces for spiritual and community connection. Quarterly gatherings for sharing and stillness around creating a more just, equal and peaceful world.
For our first, quarterly, Faith in Action gathering we are looking to Bayard Rustin, both in honour of Black History Month and of his outstanding contribution to nonviolence.
This gathering will be spacious, with significant time spent in quiet, reflective, Quaker worship.
Quakers are a radical faith community grounded in stillness. We believe in working together – across borders and beliefs – to create a more just, equal and peaceful world. Everyone is welcome.
