Minutes from First Friends for Discernment and Consideration

These minutes concerning the War in Iran and ICE were approved without objection by Indianapolis First Friends Meeting during our Monthly Meeting for Business on April 19, following a period of careful discernment and consideration.

We share them here as an expression of our Meeting’s witness and ongoing commitment to the Quaker testimonies of peace, justice, and care for vulnerable people. We invite readers to reflect on how these concerns speak to their own communities, faith traditions, and responsibilities in the world today.

We seek a personal relationship with the living God.

BUT AS QUAKERS, WE JUST DO IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

We gather for worship, and yes, sometimes we sit in silence. But sometimes we also sing out loud. And other times, we gather to share meals, study together, or just work in our garden.

Whatever brought you to this page is likely what will bring you through our door. As a part of the wider Christian community, we offer a unique Quaker perspective on simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality.
