"The answer for Friends is to deepen and broaden our sense of the presence of God as we have seen Him in Christ, until we are fully aware that love of God and love of men cannot be separated. In the measure that we become unsegregated from within, we shall desegregate outwardly."
—Errol Elliott, lecture to Indiana Yearly Meeting, 1968.
