someone said recently that they practice benjamin lay quakerism. a quakerism that shouts and brings discomfort. a quakerism that gets written out for wanting others to be free. may we always return to liberation in our action and in worship

Someone at worship asked how Friends might live into the testimonies at this moment in history. I would call this quite the response to that query.
