October 2016 Quarterly Meeting

By Deb Wood on September 15, 2016 in

Western Quarterly Meeting in October is hosted by Kendal Monthly Meeting Friends.
Robin Mohr, of Friends World Committee for Consultation will present the morning program: We Think We Are Separate.

Saturday, October 15, 2016
9:00 am In the Main Center at Kendal (1100 E. Baltimore Pike)

We Think We’re Separate — When we think about all the things we don’t want to be associated with, whether that is disease or child abuse or war, we think that we are separate. We are afraid of being connected. We construct walls in our minds and our hearts to convince ourselves that it’s not us, it’s not our problem, that we are separate, up until the day we can no longer pretend, until we find out it is us. “They” are us. Humans try to pretend it’s not us, that we’re separate. But God, Jesus, Quakers—all teach us that we are not separate.

Lunch* and fellowship will follow.
