“Do we live in the virtue of that life and power that takes away the occasion of child abuse, as well as intimate partner abuse and all forms of violence within the family and community?”
Our listeners are Friends volunteering to do this hard work because we care…

Do you want to explore giving testimony? When you write to us Windy will get back to you to help connect you with a listener, if appropriate. Listeners repeat our guiding query and sit with you in silence as you are invited to reflect on your response, which is then reflected back to you by the listener. Your testimony is then typed from the notes the listener takes and sent back to you and only you. This is an opportunity to be fully heard and to hear yourself. It is modeled on traditional Quaker clearness processes.
Portions of all the testimonies gathered will be read, with permission and without any identifying information or content, as part of an invitation to worship sharing that will be recorded and shared with meetings all over the world with instructions on how to use this as part of their discernment on abuse.
