"All are Welcome!" It is well known that Quakers are welcoming. It is also well known that Quakers live their testimonies. In particular, Quakers support peace and social justice and take action as we feel is appropriate.
Currently many religious organizations are supporting immigration rights. Philadelphia Yearly Meeting is a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the US Department of Homeland Security.
Stay up to date about it here: https://www.pym.org/dhs-lawsuit/
Did you know all people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution? The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) provides red cards that give examples of how people can exercise these rights. However, they do not provide individualized legal advice. Community members are encouraged to check in with a trusted legal service provider for questions about their situation.
ILRC red cards are available to self print in multiple languages. If you would like professionally printed red cards, visit Barnegat Friends Meeting any time for free copies with our compliments.

Barnegat Friends Meeting is heartbroken at the passing of our beloved member
Ralph Howland. Thank you for joining us on Sunday, June 14, at a
memorial meeting for worship..
<--- Read Ralph's obituary by clicking on his photo.
On Sunday, May 31, 2 pm, Emily Provance (“Quaker Emily”) visited and presented
on communities and violence in an increasingly fractured society.
Shortly prior to the visit, Emily Provance was in Northern Ireland, where she was looking at the history of the Troubles and how that is parallel (and not) to current conditions in the United States. Emily brought to Barnegat Meeting’s attention a recent FIRE survey that found 34% of college students now say it is sometimes acceptable to respond to objectionable speech with violence. That's a scary trend regardless of where we stand politically. Her Barnegat presentation will pull from Quaker experience and Quaker theology to talk about how we respond to an increasingly fractured society.
You may be familiar with Emily Provance’s extensive work as a traveling Quaker minister. She has led numerous workshops and has given presentations for organizations worldwide. Her recent publications include the Pendle Hill pamphlet, “Spiritual Gifts, the Beloved Community, and Covenant” and the book, “Before the Resurrection, Transitions and Endings in Quaker Meetings and Churches”. In 2025 she was Britain Yearly Meeting’s invited speaker at the Swarthmore Lecture organized by Woodbrooke. Her topic was “A Testimony of Community”. You can learn more at Emily’s blog, “Turning, Turning, Holy Experiments Among Friends”.

It was a pleasure to see old friends and meet new ones.
Thank you, Dan Lieter, for your April 19 presentation,
It’s not just the Honey – A deeper look into the products honeybees give us.
The presentation was informative, and Dan passed around a variety of samples that included
beeswax, propolis, and pollen. At the Meeting's request, he brought some of his delicious honey to sell.
Couldn't be there? You can taste Dan's honey; the Meeting has a jar on hand for coffee and tea.
