A Call to the Light

Poughkeepsie Meeting

Recently, a young man and non-Quaker observed to me that, in his experience, New York Yearly Meeting was best described as a “social justice club.” This observation is important and while incomplete, it is uncomfortably accurate. There is no question that our social causes in the world define Eastern non-programmed Quakers to those very few who notice us at all.
