Dear Friends,

Thank you for registering for our Quaker Meeting and Creative Conversation, organized by the NFN, UK.

5 October’s QM+CC will introduce the concern A slow intro to decolonizing qism.
From our tom kunesh, “In 2018 a young white american woman wrote an essay “Quakers are Colonizers” (quakervoluntaryservice.org/quakers-are-colonizers/). The following year the website decolonizingquakers.org was started. / Nontheism is not only a passive filosofical observation but in qism, a criticism of imperial kristianity’s worldview as well. Nontheism is a natural partner to decolonizing. How it applies among Friends.”
Please arrive early, as the Meeting will start promptly at 7PM BST/2PM EDT.  The Zoom Room opens at 6:45PM
