Boulder Friends Meeting - Quakers

Boulder Friends Meeting - Quakers Boulder Friends Meeting is an unprogrammed meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Today, Quakers are active in many countries across the globe.

At Boulder Friends Meeting, our meetings for worship are held in expectant silence with no formal program or pastor, as each worshiper seeks to listen to the Spirit within. We are members of the Religious Society of Friends, often shortened to Friends or simply called Quakers. As Friends, we “let our lives speak” as we apply our religious beliefs each day. We live values-based lives to benefit all

members of society and nature. Simplicity, integrity, equality, peace/nonviolence, and stewardship of our Earth are ideals toward which we strive, individually and in community. Our children and youth learn these values through age-appropriate activities in our First Day School (Sunday School), at Mountain Friends Camp, and in larger Quaker gatherings where they greet friends with similar values. Our Christian roots have been enriched by the wisdom found in many religious traditions. In addition to Christians, our community includes Buddhists, Jews, agnostics, atheists, and others who share our values and practices. Spiritual seekers from a large variety of backgrounds have found a comfortable home in Boulder Friends Meeting. Quakerism originated in England nearly 400 years ago, and many followers of the Quaker path came to America in search of religious freedom. Quakers were the first spiritual group to allow women full equality to men in the congregation. When you join us in silent meeting, you participate in the continuous and uninterrupted flow of spiritual belief that contributed to the abolition of slavery, women’s rights, and the creation of Americas first public schools. In fact, thanks to our new hybrid in-person/Zoom format, several Friends from across the United States and Europe join our Boulder Friends Meeting worship each Sunday morning. We welcome all people and all belief systems, as we find strength in diversity. Our website will help you to learn more about Boulder Friends Meeting, our worship, and our activities. We invite you to join our community of progressive seekers.

Hi Friends and friends alike! I am on our Boulder Friends Meeting's Social Media Team. You often see me post on Thursdays, often with a link or photo, sometimes with a personal story. This week, I've got two out of three categories covered!

June is celebrated globallly as Pride month, a time to reflect, acknowledge, celebrate, and continue to support the LGBTQIA+ community. Before I even attended my first Meeting, I knew that I had to find out if it was welcoming to q***r people. People like me. I had too much religious trauma already not to. So I sent a Facebook message to the Meeting page and received the kindest, most loving response. I went to my first Meeting the next Sunday. I immediately felt at home.

Here is an article about the work that the Quakers have done over time for the LGBTQIA+ community. I am proof of the impact of those works.

With Love & Light,
Mena

You can tell how kind a person is by how they treat animals.

As a peace church, how to Quakers observe ? The answer depends upon the person. Some Friends take time on Memorial Day to reflect on the physical and emotional trauma that happens to all people affected by war. Some Friends teach or learn about Conscientious Objector status, perhaps by supporting young people in building their personal case file against war. Some Friends resist war by refusing to pay taxes, and some Friends look for ways to continue paying health care to veterans while resisting other war taxes.

As a Quaker, how do you intend to observe Memorial Day? Reflections are welcome in the chat.

This week's Vitality newsletter offered some food for thought. You can read it here:
