We are the Young Friends of Wilmington Yearly Meeting
Friends, also known as
Quakers, take their name from the following Bible verse:
"My command is this: Love each other as I have
loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down
his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I
command you." John 15:12-14 (NIV)
Wilmington Yearly
Meeting Religious Society of Friends is just one part of the
larger body of Friends, Friends United
Meeting.
Yes, we often
get strange looks when we say we are Quakers but this youth group is
like many other Christian groups in that we seek to help youth
establish their faith in Christ and encourage them to then practice and
strengthen their faith.
The strange looks are often followed by questions
like, "Aren't you supposed to dress like that guy on the oats
box?" Well, that guy was one of our traditionally dressed Quaker
ancestors. ( Maybe it's even Uncle George, George Fox the founder of
Quakerism, but probably not.) Our dress may have changed but our
values remain the same, to honor God by following Christ's example. To
be led by the Holy Spirit in living a life of peace, integrity,
simplicity, and moral purity.
