In this QuakerSpeak video, Sterling Duns notes that “As an Afro-futurist, I spend time thinking about the future, and really spending some deep time imagining what it looks like for us all to be free. I think Quaker communities can spend that time and energy doing that.”
Take a moment to imagine us all being free.
What does that future look like?
What is Spirit calling you to do in your individual life to create that reality?
What steps are you called to take toward helping your meeting and the Religious Society of Friends become more welcoming?
