Guiding Principle: We Seek…an Earth Restored

What priorities would you support in this area? As an example, one of FCNL’s priorities for the current 2019-2020 Congress has been “We seek sustainable solutions to climate change, reducing fossil fuel use” (click here for other examples))

To date, Friends in Moorestown have mentioned these priorities:

  • Encourage Congress to increase visibility and incentives for using renewable resources
  • Reduce fossil fuels. Use solar and wind
  • No more plastics. Take cloth bags to the grocery.
  • Let farmers farm.
  • Walk more.
  • Use no pesticides. Save the bees!
  • Carbon neutrality by 2025 for USA
  • Reduce fossil fuel. Expand solar & wind power use
  • Restore protected status to lands – National Parks protected – Native lands protected

About the FNCL discernment – introduction

Every two years, Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) seeks the help of local Meetings to discern its priorities for outreach to the next Congress. We are gathering your comments for Moorestown Friends Meeting to give input.

Please browse the four additional blog posts (one for each of FCNL’s guiding principles, as prefaced by the words “We seek…”). We invite you to comment on issues Spirit leads you to support most strongly. You might enter into a worship as you read, with your comments emerging from Spirit rather than from long-standing worldly interests.

For additional background, click here to go to the FCNL website.

Later this month, we’ll invite Friends to join in an online/phone-in worship sharing and discernment gathering to refine our priorities. Information will be posted on the Meeting website’s Meeting News page.

Thank you for your care of our testimonies and witness!
