On 12/18 Shahin led Friends in a spirited meeting for learning on the stewardship testimony. Friends spoke of the testimony as the "multiplier" within S-P-I-C-E-S (the traditional Quaker testimonies of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality/Equity, and Stewardship), and of all the many meanings of stewardship for Quakers (for example, stewardship of financial resources, but also stewardship of our planet and the energies and gifts of individuals).

At the 03/27 meeting for learning, David - who is a retired economist currently serving as our Meeting's Treasurer - led Memphis Friends to explore several queries related to Quakerism and Investment:

Why do we save money and what do we do with it?

Is it possible to be ethical in process of saving and investing for the future?

Are Quakers allowed to earn interest and profits from labor not their own?

and hard work! Quakers came together in August to tend to the meetinghouse gardens and thresh how the meetinghouse grounds can be a testimony of our beliefs. A second workday in August was postponed because not all needed supplies had been gathered. Look for more info soon about the rescheduled time.
