Friends have always been very active in addressing our government and its rule. In this QuakerSpeak video, we ask Marge Abbott and Noah Baker Merrill why Quakers care about politics.
The Quaker call to prophetic work is about having that experience of that transforming love and then seeking to live it in the world, in all relationships.
The systems that we create as people, the systems of government, and systems of power, and the way that we distribute resources are all inhabited by people. And at its most powerful, this prophetic work is about relationships.
