#quakers

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Waiting is not the same as doing nothing. It can be uncomfortable because it asks us to stay with a question before we know where it leads. In Quaker worship, waiting creates room for attention, honesty, and a different kind of listening. Some things become clearer only when we stop forcing them to arrive. #Quakers #Waiting #Stillness #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Modern life pulls our attention in many directions. Messages, headlines, feeds, and demands all compete for the same space. Quaker practice offers a different rhythm. Sit still for a while. Notice what is present. Listen before reaching for a response. What we give attention to shapes how we live. #Quakers #Attention #Stillness #FriendsOnTheFediverse
