Sisters in the Faith

Quakers have been given the gift of diversity. Even though it's a gift that's sometimes hard to appreciate, it has lessons that sisters of this conference value deeply. Our beliefs may vary. Our lives may seem peculiar to one another. Our values may seem at times to contradict our claims of sisterhood.

But beneath it all our unity in the Spirit rests on a solid rock of certainty that the Spirit of God moves in and among us through every condition in which we find ourselves.

The Infinite Love of God... Speaking to all conditions.

"And the Lord answered that it was needful I should have a sense of all conditions: how else should I speak to all conditions? And in this I saw the Infinite love of God." (George Fox)

As Quaker women in the 21st century, we, like George Fox in the 17th, want to have our own conditions ministered to and also to speak to the conditions of others in our world. Together, let's consider how we may more fully experience "the infinite ocean of light and love" that George Fox saw flowing over the ocean of darkness.
