Quakerism
Alive & Active
Welcome to the blog of Poughkeepsie Quaker Friends Meeting, where we share insights, stories, and reflections on our Quaker faith and actions. From prison ministry and voting rights to alternatives to violence and social justice, our blog covers a range of topics that reflect our commitment to the Quaker Testimonies. Join us as we explore how our Quaker SPICES guide us in making a positive impact in the world.
