Thanks to all who joined our May 2nd Zoom Forum for “A Conversation with Kathy Manning.”
Last week during our Adult Forum time, Friends discussed the Quaker perspective on economic systems. Below, please find resources that were shared during our discussion.
Queries:
- How is our current economic system blocking the Kingdom of God?
- What are some of the cultural assumptions that we have about who and what our roles and connections are with one another based on the economic system?
Articles/Books:

- Heather McGhee The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together
Also, George Lakey recently shared an interview he had with Rev Charles “Chas” Howard — on religion, social injustice, and nonviolent direct action. It is a 40 minute YouTube video.
We will continue to use Zoom for Religious Education programming.
Spiritual Disciplines (begins at 10 a.m.)
Young Friends / Sundays from 12:30-1:30 p.m. / Thank you for your hard work on the #save.the.earth. SAVE IT!…or else project. Karin will be working to share the finished work with the community. If you feel led to make something in the coming weeks, please still send it in, the more the earthier! This upcoming Sunday is World Laughter Day, so we will be spending our fellowship time cracking jokes, playing games, and remembering some of the laughs we have shared this past year. Bring a joke if you’ve got one!
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions, joys, or concerns. ~Karin Heller
