Last week, FUM Programme Officer Getry Agizah (standing, at right) visited schools in western Kenya to launch the Quaker peace curriculum in some schools and encourage existing peace clubs in others. “This exercise was well received by heads of schools, and most going through [the curriculum] felt it is indeed a needed item for schools and students,” Getry said. “Some schools are planning peace gardens where it will be a meditation site for both teachers, students, and workers who have difficult days.

Throughout our history, the people known as Friends (or Quakers) keep rediscovering an essential and enduring truth: There is one who speaks to our most basic needs and most significant hopes—Christ Jesus the Lord. Both individually and communally, we are learning to know and follow the Voice that guides us in the way we should go. Together, we seek to understand and obey that truth which sets us free. As a people, we share in the experience of that powerful life which makes all things new. Maybe you are searching for an authentic and transforming faith and community to call home—if so, come in and join us as we seek to know and follow Christ.
Friends United Meeting commits itself to energize and equip Friends through the power of the Holy Spirit to gather people into fellowships where Jesus Christ is known, loved, and obeyed as Teacher and Lord.
