Adelphi Friends Meeting

We recently filed suit to prevent immigration officers from entering houses of worship in violation of historic sanctuary policies.

Quakers sue to keep US immigration agents out of houses of worship Quaker groups sued on Monday to prevent U.S. immigration agents from carrying arrests and searches in houses of worship, after the Trump Administration rescinded guidance that protected churches and schools from his mass deportation campaign.

Friend David Johnson is traveling in the ministry and will be making a visit to Adelphi Friends on July 21.

Throughout Quaker history, Friends traveling in the ministry held Quakerism together. In earlier years, recorded ministers and other Friends would leave families, farms and businesses behind to share spiritual messages from God in distant locations. While the practice has diminished in contemporary times, it has not altogether vanished.

David Johnson is an Australian Friend who finds himself with a strong leading to travel among us and remind us of the strength of early Friends messages. Some of his travels echo those of earlier years, where he shares worship with different Meetings and speaks when he is given something. But his schedule also includes more formal talks, sharing and leading discussions.

The link below shows the itinerary of David's U.S. visits.
