Friends celebrate World Quaker Day

‘Each of us is doing our part for peace, but after this massive online worship, I hope even if we are working alone or in a small group, we will feel the support of hundreds of others.’

Nearly 1,000 people registered for an international online Meeting for Worship last weekend for World Quaker Day. Speakers for the event hosted by Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) included Quakers working for peace in Palestine, Lebanon, Cuba, Ukraine, Estonia and Rwanda.
