Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends (Quakers)

The Peace Education subcommittee is accepting submissions for January’s daily devotional focused on how NWYM members are walking in peace. The foundational query is: “In what ways have you felt called to live out the Friends peace testimony?” We want to hear about ALL of the different ways that peace is expressed in and by NWYM. Tell us how the Quaker peace testimony speaks to YOU, your community, or your congregation. For details of how to write and submit your devotional, download this pdf.

The theme for January’s Peace Month is “Our Stories of Peace.” The subcommittee is looking for names and biographical info on Quakers to be highlighted during the month. What Quakers come to mind as people who worked tirelessly for peace in the last century? (In this context, “peace” doesn’t just mean anti-war activism but includes any action that is loving toward one’s neighbor.)

Submit your suggestions to: peace clerk or Karrie Brothers by July 10.
