Letter of Concern
Baltimore Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends
17100 Quaker Lane
Sandy Spring, MD USA
January 10, 2008
Friends in Baltimore Yearly Meeting have been following the news from Kenya closely. Some of us could recognize the places we saw in the newscasts. In your time of stress, we remember that you wrote us after 11 September 2001.
In that spirit, we express concern for the safety of Friends, those we have not met as well as those we know. In addition, two members of our Yearly Meeting, working on the Africa Great Lakes Initiative are living in Kenya. They tell us of Friends Meetings that are testifying with their works and aiding those made homeless. Both your deeds and words are life affirming, faith-filled, truth and justice-guided, peace-building, comfort-giving, repentance-seeking, and reconciliation-oriented.
We will hold you in our prayers.
Howard Fullerton
Presiding Clerk
Baltimore Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends
