March 20, we signed a "Christian Call for Peace" as found on Friends World Committee for Consultation - FWCC World Office's website. It says:

Christian Call for Peace
We the undersigned say together with many others to the rulers of Russia that invasion and occupation are the opposite of Christ’s universal call to reconciliation and unity.
Jesus emphasised: ‘You shall not kill’.
We call for an immediate ceasefire, with armed conflict replaced by a peacekeeping dialogue.

On Sunday morning, February 27, some of us gathered on Zoom for a time of prayer for peace in Ukraine.  Friends wanted to also provide financial relief to those in need. We checked with our fellow peace church folks, the Mennonites. The Mennonite Central Committee (their equivalent to the AFSC) is accepting donations and working with organizations on the ground in Ukraine to get funds to the people most in need.
