Friends were ahead of the whole church on abolition, on prison reform, and on the ministry of women, and they were ahead at real cost. Their practice of waiting on God together in silence is what the rest of the body borrows when words have run out.

The community around Friends Church
It takes 4.3 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 4 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than a third describe their own health as fair or poor, and about a third of working-age adults live without health insurance. A scattered parish is still a parish.
Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
