The TESTIMONY of EQUALITY: where do we as individuals stand?

Despite cruel persecution, early Friends were stubbornly determined to demonstrate that in God’s sight, all persons are equal. This belief resulted in Friends through the years having contributed significantly to the creation of a more just society. Where do we stand today?

Our speaker Stefan Mann will describe his own experiences, in both personal and professional life, of hierarchy, privilege and discrimination. Together we shall then explore various forms of discrimination, some seemingly obvious, others more complex. What challenges do we find?

To round off this meeting, Kurt Strauss, who fled Nazi Germany with his family, will share with us his views on equality.
