November 26 2023: Journey

Journey - with Dan Cooperstock
You don't want to miss our time together this Sunday! Dan Cooperstock will return with a talk in which he shares various experiences from his life that reflect his values, particularly his concerns for justice, fairness, equality and integrity.

First Reading

Two items from the Advices and Queries of Canadian Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)

Are you alert to practices here and throughout the world which discriminate against people on the basis of who or what they are or because of their beliefs? Bear witness to the humanity of all people, including those who break society’s conventions or its laws. Try to discern new growing points in social and economic life. Seek to understand the causes of injustice, social unrest and fear. Are you working to bring about a just and compassionate society which allows everyone to develop their capacities and fosters the desire to serve?

Second 

Are you honest and truthful in all you say and do? Do you maintain strict integrity in business transactions and in your dealings with individuals and organisations? Do you use money and information entrusted to you with discretion and responsibility? Taking oaths implies a double standard of truth; in choosing to affirm instead, be aware of the claim to integrity that you are making.
