Together we nurture the spiritual vitality of Friends
Memphis Friends Meeting - Visitors Are Welcome

News & Announcements

Carol's Meeting for Learning on 6/25 covered all Quaker testimonies - known among Quakers as the SPICES - but put the spotlight on the I testimony of Integrity. She likened the testimonies as stones brought home from a trip, to be held and considered.

She invited Friends to share how the Integrity testimony has spoken to them. 

Several Friends spoke of this testimony as a foundation useful in withstanding storms - something including but perhaps more than honesty, fairness, authenticity, consistency, congruity, wholeness, and accountability.

The passage shared in the January 9 meeting for worship is from Plain Living: A Quaker Path to Simplicity (a book that is available for checkout in the MFM library). It is a quotation from Sharon Daloz Parks:

"Faith community: creating a space where obedience to truth can be practiced."

Dear Governor Lee: 

We write to you as a faith community of Quakers in Memphis to ask that you, in your capacity as Governor of Tennessee, have mercy and grant clemency to Pervis Payne and commute his sentence.

Quakers have a long history of opposition to capital punishment because we believe that there is that of God in everyone. We embrace the humanity of the victim and that of the accused.
