Advices and Queries

Friends do not have a creed but we do have a set of spiritual Queries which help us individually and as communities to consider our spiritual condition. We also have Advices, based on the spiritual wisdom gleaned over the years. Here is a sample. We will post a new ones from time to time. 

The first generation of Friends did not have a testimony for simplicity.  They came upon a faith which cut to the root of the way they saw life, radically reorienting it.  They saw that all they did must flow directly from what they experienced as true, and that if it did not, both the knowing and the doing became false.  In order to keep the knowledge clear and the doing true, they stripped away anything which seemed to get in the way.  They called those things superfluities, and it is this radical process of stripping for clear-seeing which we now term simplicity.

Fran Irene Taber, 1985

This is a Gun Buyback project that will get more guns off the street and out of homes where they are no longer wanted.  We will actually transform the turned-in guns into garden tools!  Would you support us now in July so we can launch this unique "Gun Buyback Day" in Norwalk, Connecticut?  We have a July 30th deadline.

To support this effort go to the Go Fund Me page that has been set up for this event.

Would you like to become a conflict resolution workshop facilitator?

The Alternatives to Violence Project is seeking facilitators to fill the growing need for the program.

At the end of May we held our first conflict resolution workshop for the women at the Westchester County Jail. We are looking for help in bringing conflict resolution skills to these women.

Sunday, June 9, Purchase Quarter kicked off a new child-centered worship and fellowship for families. Scarsdale Meeting hosted this first gathering. We met for worship through a Faith & Play story on gifts and singing, played outside together and shared a simple meal. Children and their parents had fun and enjoyed connecting with one another. The next Quarterly Quaker Family Sunday Supper will be hosted by Wilton Meeting at the end of the summer. Families from within and beyond Purchase Quarter are welcome! Join us!
