Community

Friends’ testimonies on integrity, unity, equality, simplicity, and peace come together in our testimony on community, which calls us to sustain caring relationships for all. In today’s interconnected world, human survival depends more than ever on discerning and actualizing the truth of our corporate experience, on mutual regard and support, on nurturing our relationships with one another, with society, and with the environment as a whole.

- Faith and Practice




None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody -
a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony, or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots. —Thurgood Marshall
