Informed prayer, prayerful action: a call from Palestinian Christians
The theme and service this year comes from Palestinian Christian women living in Palestine. We are all encouraged to pray for peace, justice and freedom of religion and movement. They ask us to pray especially for women, refugees, the sick, dying and grieving in their country, and also beyond.

Our government's participation in it must end.

"When you start to look, hope is everywhere." – David GeeQuakers are continuing to grapple with the question of how we can live well together while navigating deep division in society. But just changing our perspective, in order to focus on hope and the tools we have, can be transformative, as David Gee suggests.
