Frederick Monthly Meeting

Business not as usual:

Environmentally sustainable communities

 

We must create them.  How do we do it?

 

You’re invited to a Spirit-led discussion*

in the Quaker tradition,  as we observe

the International Day of Peace

 

 

Sunday, September 21, 2008

12:30 - 2:00pm

(light refreshments at 12:15pm)

 

Frederick Friends Meetinghouse

723 N. Market Street

 

     *participants, if so moved, are encouraged to respectfully speak their

 thoughts on the environment & sustainable communities

 

 

Why are we doing this?

 Many  recent world conflicts and catastrophes -- the 9-11 attacks, the Iraq war, Darfur , the Russia - Georgia conflict, tensions with Iran --  arguably have  energy policy (particularly oil ) at their root.  Our congregation, along with other groups, recognizes that issues of energy, environment and peace are linked.  Sustainable living will be at the intersection of stability in all 3 areas.  We believe that, with each other’s help and reverence in our hearts, the Creator will help us find our way forward.  Please join us in taking a small step together.
