Let's Not Fight..... [Jun. 14th, 2026|09:14 am]
Tony Grist
Quakers veer to the left and a Friend who admires right-wing demagogues like Rupert Lowe is an anomaly, but not so much of an anomaly that he wouldn't find supporters among the Friends if he made a point of broadcasting his views. There is a potential here for in-fighting and schism.

As a Quietist I think we should leave our political views at the Meeting House door, though I'm aware that this is also a political view.

Some people love conflict and thrive on it. I don't. Not any more.....

Whilst you can leave your Political Views at the door, i.e. party allegiance (if you have one), I don't see how you can leave political views behind, i.e. how you think about other people and your beliefs about how society in general should work. As the feminists used to say, "The personal is political."

I know what you mean, but so long as a member or attender can sign up to the Quaker testimonies I don't need to know what else they believe in.....
