@serenity@social.lol Welcome! For everything Friends-related, check out & consider using #FriendsOnTheFediverse 🙂

Någon låser upp. Någon hälsar välkommen. Någon kokar kaffe. Någon märker vem som saknas. Det är lätt att tänka att gemenskap skapas av stora beslut eller tydliga ledare. Ofta skapas den av människor som gör små saker troget och utan mycket uppmärksamhet. Vilken liten roll har betytt mycket för dig? #Kväkare #Gemenskap #Deltagande #FriendsOnTheFediverse

This Sunday, a new event series begins for anyone interested in vegan living, reuse, and small everyday acts of change. You do not need to be a Quaker to attend. Everyone is welcome. We will start with a shared brainstorm and explore, in the Quaker way, how individual choices can make a difference. 🕊️ Sunday 13 September 🕰️ 13:00–14:30 📍 Kväkargården, Kristinehovsgatan 6, Stockholm #Quakers #VeganStockholm #VeganSweden #PlantBased #Sustainability #Reuse #Stockholm #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Many people come to a Quaker meeting for the first time without knowing the words, habits, or rhythm of the room. That is okay. You can sit. You can listen. You can be unsure. You do not need to explain yourself or perform belief. Sometimes the first step is simply entering a quiet room and discovering that nothing is being demanded of you. What helped you feel welcome somewhere new? #Quakers #SilentWorship #Newcomers #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Kväkarnas andakt är stilla. Kväkarnas vittnesbörd är inte alltid stilla. Den här korta videon från Minneapolis visar Friends som protesterar mot ICE och står upp för människor som hotas. Kväkare har en lång historia av att stå emot orättvisa, från Underground Railroad till dagens sanctuary-arbete. Bön, stillhet och handling hör ihop. Se videon här: https://youtube.com/shorts/Jr6WL87fRRA?is=i7INR9QEc1UCTdKT #Kväkare #Quakers #Fredsvittnesbörd #Rättvisa #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Quaker worship is quiet. Quaker witness is not always quiet. This short video from Minneapolis shows Friends resisting ICE and standing with people under threat. Quakers have a long history of standing against injustice, from the Underground Railroad to sanctuary work today. Prayer, silence, and action belong together.

Stilla andakt i Vänersborg. Västergötlands andaktsmöte bjuder in till stilla andakt nu på tisdag. Alla är välkomna. 🕊️ Tisdag 1 september 🕰️ 17:00 📍 Adolf Andersohnsgatan 12, 462 37 Vänersborg Annika Hollsing och Sjoerd Uitslag ansvarar. #Kväkare #Andakt #Stillhet #Vänersborg #FriendsOnTheFediverse

It is easy to say that everyone is welcome. The harder work is noticing what makes people feel unsure, unseen, or out of place. In a Quaker meeting, hospitality can be quiet. A greeting at the door. A clear explanation. Space to sit in silence without pressure to perform. What helps you feel genuinely welcome somewhere? #Quakers #Hospitality #Belonging #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Hvem bærer fellesskapet? I mange sammenhenger venter vi på at noen andre skal ta ansvar. I et kvekermøte er fellesskapet avhengig av alles oppmerksomhet. Noen åpner rommet, noen koker kaffe, noen lytter, noen taler, noen kommer stille tilbake uke etter uke. Ansvar kan være synlig. Det kan også være svært hverdagslig. Hva er en liten måte du bidrar til fellesskap på? #Kvekere #Fellesskap #Ansvar #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Many Quaker meetings in the Nordics are fairly small. There are no sermons, no priests, and no real programme to follow. People gather, sit in silence, listen, and sometimes speak when something feels ready to be shared. Community grows through this repeated practice of being present with one another. What helps you feel part of a community? #Quakers #Community #SilentWorship #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Hvem er vi når ingen ser oss? Det offentlige livet belønner ofte tydelige meninger, raske svar og gode formuleringer. Det private livet viser noe annet: hvordan vi behandler mennesker nær oss, hvordan vi bruker tid, hva vi unngår, og hvilke valg vi tar når de ikke blir lagt merke til. For kvekere hører tro og liv sammen. Hvor merker du spenningen mellom det du står for offentlig, og det du faktisk øver på i hverdagen? #Kvekere #Integritet #Ettertanke #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Det är en enkel fråga, men den kan vara svår att leva med. Vi kan tala om fred, enkelhet, omsorg och jämlikhet, samtidigt som våra vanor drar åt ett annat håll. Kväkarnas vittnesbörd om integritet handlar om att lyssna efter sådana avstånd. Inte för att skapa skuld, utan för att leva mer sammanhållet. Var märker du själv avståndet mellan det du värderar och det som vardagen faktiskt kräver av dig? #Kväkare #Integritet #Eftertanke #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Integrity is often spoken about as if it were a fixed personal quality. In daily life, it may be more like a practice. We notice when our words, choices, work, habits, and relationships begin to drift apart. Then we ask what needs to come back into alignment. For Quakers, integrity is closely connected with silence, attention, and conscience. What helps you notice when something in your life has moved out of alignment? #Quakers #Integrity #Conscience #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Forbruk handler sjelden bare om tingene vi kjøper. Det handler også om hva vi lengter etter, hva vi prøver å dekke over, og hva vi tror vil gjøre livet mer helt. Kvekertradisjonen minner oss om å se ærlig på behov, vaner og valg. Noen ganger begynner enkelhet med et spørsmål vi helst vil unngå. #Kvekere #Enkelhet #Ettertanke #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Quaker simplicity is not about having less for its own sake. It is about making space for truth, care, and clearer attention. A simpler life can still be a demanding one. #Quakers #Simplicity #Stillness #FriendsOnTheFediverse
