Going forth in peace (morning meditation)
1 July 2025, Online
Join the Faith in Action team from Quakers in Britain in collaboration with QRBs working for peace, for some reflection and preparation for action. Find out what is happening nationally, how you can get involved and what support is available from Quakers in Britain to help us build the more just, peaceful and sustainable world we know is possible.
Gathering and grounding in gratitude
Start your day with a guided grounding meditation and silent, shared Meeting for Worship online. You will be invited to share something you are grateful for and connect with a feeling of peace within yourself. Whether or not you are able to join for any of the other sessions today, you are welcome to be in the silent, prayerful space together and ground in gratitude.
The changes to the political landscape across the world that have taken place over the last few months have left many of us concerned, fearful and disturbed. It is an important time to come together.
In recent months, we are being called to re-consider how to put our faith in action. In April, Friends gathered for a Meeting for Worship outside Scotland Yard, returning police violence & aggression with love & peace. In May, British Quakers will be gathering online and in person at Yearly Meeting (April 29-1st May and May 23-26th), young adult Quakers gathered in Bristol for Young Friends General Meeting (May 2nd), and European Friends are gathering in Brussels for a joint conference in June (20th-22nd June). Friends from all over the world have been gathering online in two Meetings for Worship hosted by the Truth and Integrity Group and outcomes from these Meetings for Worship will be shared globally through the Friends World Committee for Consultation.
For all of us, this is an important time to ask not just what are we called to do, individually and collectively, but how are we called to be? How can we go forth in faith and in peace, walking cheerfully and responding to that of God everyone, even in the face of increasing division, oppression and environmental devastation?
As is often the case, we ask ourselves again and again, what does love require of us?
