Friends Hong Kong (Quakers)

Friends Hong Kong (Quakers) We are an unprogrammed Quaker meeting, officially the Religious Society of Friends Hong Kong Meeting. We hope to see you at one of our meetings soon!

We meet weekly for worship, and anyone is welcome to attend. There are no priests or ministers; we come together as a community of equals before God. Welcome to Friends Hong Kong

Founded in 1652 by George Fox, Quakers (The Religious Society of Friends) spread from England to America, Europe, and every continent in the world. The Friends’ way of life emphasises simplicity and humility. Friends meet once a week for Meeting for Worship, and anyone is welcome to attend. Though the roots of Quakerism are in the Christian tradition, Friends have long recognised that many different paths lead to a common goal. Friends have no professional priests or ministers; we come together as a community of equals before God. Friends’ deep spirituality has been, and still is, a source of profound social activism. Over the centuries this activism has included early equality for women and active opposition to slavery, along with concerns for religious freedom and avoidance of war. These and similar concerns continue today, with Friends still actively promoting peace and social equality.

"Allowing armed agents near or in places of worship also undermines the Quakers’ central message of pacifism and nonviolence, it says."

"The threat of enforcement deters congregants, especially immigrants, from attending services, the complaint says. Losing members is a substantial burden on the congregation’s religious rights, especially when the “congregants would bring to worship different backgrounds and life experiences,” it says."

"Allowing the raids at or near places of worship violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by burdening Quakers’ right to worship communally, the complaint says. It also notes that the government has said that it can achieve its current mission without limiting individuals’ access to places of worship."

"The complaint further says that DHS’s policy is arbitrary and capricious in violation of Administrative Procedure Act, and wasn’t adopted pursuant to APA procedures."

The Department of Homeland Security’s decision to conduct immigration raids in houses of worship violates the First Amendment, a group of Quaker congregations said in a new federal lawsuit challenging the practice.
