‘Being Salt and Light’

Quotes from the World Conference of Friends

by The Friend 27th April 2012

‘I… greeted all of us gathered here today as one tribe, what I called Te Haahi Tuuhauwiri. This is the Māori name for Quakers in Aotearoa. It translates as “the faith community that stands shaking in the wind of the Spirit.” On behalf of Te Haahi Tuuhauwiri o Aotearoa, I greet you all, sisters and brothers of the Quaker world.’  Thomas Owen, Aotearoa/ New Zealand
