Multnomah Friends Meeting - Quakers

February queries:
-How do we rejoice in the presence of children in our Meetings and recognize the gifts they bring?
-How do we share our spiritual beliefs with our children as they develop their own as spirit leads them?

_____
We welcome you to worship with us. Quaker life and practice is grounded in the conviction that the Divine Spirit is accessible to all. In worship we sit in stillness, opening ourselves to that Spirit. Quakers, in our wide diversity and experience, individually refer to this Spirit in varying ways, including “God,” “The Light,” “The Inward Christ,” and others. These vary, but our purpose is the same. Gathered in worship, we open ourselves to experience spiritual truth.

Our Meetinghouse occupies homelands belonging since time immemorial to the Chinook-speaking peoples of Multnomah, Clackamas, Cascade/Watlala, and the Kalapuya of Tualatin. Throughout Oregon, land was stolen from tribes through the use of treaties and land grants. In 1850, the land on which the Meetinghouse sits became part of such a land grant. We understand it is incumbent on us to lean into this uncomfortable fact and consider its implications for the Meeting.
