The occasion of war, and war itself (wherein envious men, who are lovers of themselves more than lovers of God, lust, kill, and desire to have men's lives or estates) ariseth from lust.

All bloody principles and practices, as to our own particulars, we utterly deny; with all outward wars and strife, and fightings with outward weapons, for any end, or under any pretense whatsoever; this is our testimony to the whole world.

"I hope you have had a season full of warmth and light in the northern hemisphere’s darkest month of the year. The holidays have the potential to bring joy, togetherness, and hope, but for some they may bring feelings of stress, loneliness, or grief. So however December was for you, for the New Year, I wish you rest.

We spent the last month exploring the relationship between rest and spirituality. Each of us deserves rest, not because we’ve 'earned' it, or because we are preparing ourselves for productivity, but because we have divine light within us, inherent value. Setting aside regular quiet time for contemplation and centering, known as 'retirement', was an important devotional practice for early Friends that can still strengthen us today: a cleaning up of our spiritual living room in preparation for a more meaningful corporate experience at meeting for worship. That’s not to say that busy people have no time for retirement! There are small devotions that you can fold into your daily routine so that even scrubbing the floor becomes an act of prayer."
