Quakers serve to society by blood donations - Квакери: Друзі України. Quakers: Friends of Ukraine The support of civilian medical institutions to save lives is a Quaker way of peace testimony and witness of service to society, as well as nonviolent resistance to all forms of war.

#Quakers are called by the Light to serve humanity. We believe there is a sparkle of the Divine in every person, and we don’t stand aside where we can be compassionate and help. #Donorship manifests our #PeaceTestimony and #NonviolentResistance to war in #Ukraine. friends.org.ua/1385

Quaker Parents Were Ahead of Their Time The nearly 375-year-old religion’s principles line up surprisingly well with modern parenting research.

Beautiful stuff here, although I am bad Quaker, so I most definitely will be playing Laser Tag with my kid rather than having them referee.
