Stony Run Friends Meeting

On this International Day of Charity, we ask about how we give. As Quakers, our belief that there is that of God in everyone drives us to support "the least of these" in our communities and across the world.

How does your belief inform your giving? What, for you, is the difference between charity and justice, and how do you support them both? How do you feel about your relationship with charity?

The wish to be generous

All that I serve will die, all my delights,
the flesh kindled from my flesh, garden and field,
the silent lilies standing in the woods,
the woods, the hill, the whole earth, all
will burn in man's evil, or dwindle
in its own age. Let the world bring on me
the sleep of darkness without stars, so I may know
my little light taken from me into the seed
of the beginning and the end, so I may bow
to mystery, and take my stand on the earth
like a tree in a field, passing without haste
or regret toward what will be, my life
a patient willing descent into the grass.

Wendell Berry (1934 - 2026)
