The purpose of our group is to guide the meeting on how we may reduce our carbon footprint and live in right relationship to the Earth in our personal lives, as part of the FMA community, and in our public lives as citizens.
The international organization, Quaker Earthcare Witness, is a spiritually-centered movement of Quakers and like-minded people seeking ways to integrate concern for the environment with Friends' long-standing testimonies for simplicity, integrity, peace, and equality.
Quaker Earthcare Witness Vision & Witness
[See the Quaker Earthcare Witness website for more information.]
- WE ARE CALLED to live in right relationship with all Creation, recognizing that the entire world is interconnected and is a manifestation of God.
- WE WORK to integrate into the beliefs and practices of the Religious Society of Friends the Truth that God's Creation is to be respected, protected, and held in reverence in its own right, and the Truth that human aspirations for peace and justice depend upon restoring the earth's ecological integrity.
- WE PROMOTE these Truths by being patterns and examples, by communicating our message, and by providing spiritual and material support to those engaged in the compelling task of transforming our relationship to the earth.
