Spirit-Led? Faith and Activism: A Quaker Perspective
30 September 2025, Online
There is a popular myth in Quaker settings of a divide between faith and activism. Are they really separate? How might Spirit fire up our commitment to social change and sustain us? This session explores how faith and activism can strengthen each other.
Speaking from his experience as an Anarchist and his life since as a Quaker, Ben Pink Dandelion will lay out a clear Quaker understanding of how faith feeds witness – and how witness, in turn, feeds faith. This is an urgent conversation, aimed at helping Friends reckon with the challenges of walking a Spirit-led path of justice, while finding strength and community along the way.
This session, part of an interfaith series, is open to everyone, Quaker or not. It will include input from Ben, a chance to reflect on our own experience in smaller groups, and conversation around the topic. We hope it will give us all a chance to explore how activism and spirituality intersect in our own lives.
