Our hearts go out to our Catholic friends and all who mourn the loss of #PopeFrancis. He leaves a legacy of enlightened compassion, based on loving respect for humanity and the earth. You can read his thoughts about basic human rights (bit.ly/encyclical1) and our common home (bit.ly/encyclical2).

Front page of the Sunday Times including the main headline ‘Met smash down door of Quaker meeting house to arrest activists’
The press have caught up with this awful story of a violent police raid on a Quaker meeting house - front page of the Sunday Times today.
Beautiful line from a Quaker Elder “The only resistance I could put up was to make tea and drink it in front of them without offering them any.”

Unitarians in solidarity with @quaker.org.uk after the Westminster Quaker meeting house was violently entered by over 20 police officers this week, and arrests made of 6 women holding a peaceful meeting relating to concerns about the climate and Gaza.

🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨
This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️
