Europe: Remaining at the table

Lina Jordan believes in the interdependence of nations

by Lina Jordan 17th June 2016

Our vision for Europe is of a peaceful, compassionate, open and just society, using its moral influence to encourage other countries and peoples towards the same goals. It is of a community of peoples which acts towards individuals and other communities as we would have others act towards us. As Quakers we seek to be sensitive to that of God in others and in ourselves,
whose needs have the same validity as our own.
