Clerk’s Corner, November 2020 A recent Powell House workshop led by a young convinced Friend from the Chatham-Summit New Jersey meeting challenged and engaged participants to consider the original meaning of the Lambs War. Early Friends used this name for their witness in the world turned upside down during the English Civil War. They brought their beliefs, the Lamb’s Weapons, what we now call the Testimonies, literally to the streets, to challenge the Church of Englan...d and the royalty. Adults walked the walk and were often imprisoned for persistent advocacy and service in addressing prison conditions, economic injustice, the devastations of war and the lack of integrity in government and social institutions. Children held worship in the absence of their parents. In the current times are we prepared to stand in the Virtues to actively live by the testimonies as the early Friends meant? Do we practice standing in the Power of Spirit to ground our actions, our work, our daily choices of being present where we live, work, and volunteer? We are now very much turned upside down proportional to the instant, global connectedness of a world both the same and very different than in the time of early Friends. Quakerism is enriched by the diverse cultures and communities where it is practiced. As individuals, in our Meeting, connected to other Friends near and far, we are called to be open to the opportunities to draw from our roots and branches. What canst thou do? Anne Liske, Clerk
