Green text on beige background with picture of a dove holding an olive branch. Text reads "What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and ends badly." - Pope Francis

I'm not #catholic, but this letter from #popefrancis to bishops in the #unitedstates resonated deeply with me.

We must recognize the dignity of every human being without exception.

"If we believe someone is going to hell, we give ourselves tacit permission to treat them like hell." - Phillip Gulley

I loved Phillip Gulley's book "Living the Quaker Way" - I was equally impressed and moved by his words on this episode.

Looking forward to #quaker meeting for worship this morning. Thankful for my tiny, unprogrammed meeting for the time & space to mind the Light, especially when things are so frightening and confusing.

#Quakerism involves the use of #queries to engage in spiritual discernment. I began worshipping with the #religioussocietyoffriends in 2020 during the #covid19 pandemic. Thankful for my Quaker faith & practice in frightening times (like the one we're living in).
