Quaker Aesthetics

by Khyber

Have you ever wondered what a Quaker aesthetics could be? It’s a matter of discernment. Traditionally Quakers created form and substance through prohibition and subtraction. Proscriptions about arts and crafts started in the late 1600s to show that we were not interested in show. Up until the
1800’s, Quakers were invested in plainness— an open declaration that we weren’t engaged with the concerns of the world. But we were very concerned to show the world that we weren’t involved in it.

FWCC, Section of the Americas Meeting

from Adrian

On March 23-26, I attended the Americas Section meeting of Friends World Committee on Consultation (FWCC) held at Haw River State Park, in Greensboro, NC. I was there as a representative from SAYMA along with several other SAYMA Friends....

As I drove to Greensboro, I connected with other Friends that I haven’t physically seen in many years... I was also able stop in Cherokee ,NC, to work on my own family history and connect with Friends in Greensboro, NC and Greenville, SC.
