Links between the Environment and our Quaker Testimonies

This news item was published on 30/07/2017 and may be out of date.

In one forum meeting we used string in a practical exercise making links between a sustainable environment and Quaker testimonies to peace, equality, simplicity and truth.

Links friends made during this activity included how a sustainable life style involves living simply but living simply today is different from 17th Century – now we have technology.  Strong links were made between sustainability and the peace testimony and how water, food and land shortages cause wars.
