"But the history of holding donors to account for the $100-billion is a disappointing one. It was raised at these podiums many times, by many leaders. And we are forced to find more creative ways to make our point. So let me try this."

I say Friends need to take Biblical matters into their own hands and design their own specialty Bibles.

One of the most extraordinary Bible stories that most people never hear. A surgically-altered, gender-variant hero organizes a brilliant campaign to rescue an imprisoned prophet.

What is "polite white supremacy"? Vanessa Julye explains it as the subtle, ever-present demand for BIPOC Friends to prioritize white comfort over their own authenticity. It's being told you're "too angry" when you talk about racism. #QuakersToday #PWS www.friendsjournal.org/podcast/quak... #podcast

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments about a conversion therapy ban. I know firsthand how dangerous conversion practices are.

On the politics of greed:

"They exemplify the greedy mindset that threatens to consume our capacity to love and with it our capacity to sacrifice on behalf of who we love."
-bell hooks

"Greed has a way of severing the cords of compassion."
-bell hooks
September 28, 2025 at 11:57 AM
"Greed is rightly considered a 'deadly sin' because it erodes the moral values that encourage us to care for the common good. Greed violates the spirit of connectedness and community that is natural to human survival."
-bell hooks
September 28, 2025 at 11:57 AM
"When greedy consumption is the order of the day, dehumanization becomes acceptable. Then treating people like objects is not only acceptable, but is required behavior."
-bell hooks

"The backlash against welfare in America today is not really a backlash against welfare abuse, so much as it is a backlash against compassion in the public sphere."

We're gathering stories for our next podcast episode. Here's the question we're pondering: How has being rooted in a small group changed the way you share your voice in bigger settings? What's your experience been? We'd love to hear it. Call 317-QUAKERS to leave a message.
