A call to action: the Epistle from the Quaker Earthcare Gathering 2026

‘What we can do now is work to avert the worst outcomes.’

by Quaker Earthcare Gathering 2026 9th October 2026

The Earthcare Gathering was held from 25-27 September 2026 at Lancaster Meeting House, bringing together Quakers of all ages from across the country with a shared concern for the Earth and our role in it, and applying experimental simple, radical, spiritual approaches to the interconnected and catastrophic challenges of our time. Orienting ourselves around spirit-led Meeting for Worship for Business, we found ourselves gathered under a shared concern for the Earth, for ourselves and, through a sense of mycelial interconnectivity, for all life forms.
