What a treasure to find, more than 10 years later. Both Daryl and Scott had such powerful messages that still resonate in 2026. Our racist policing, penal & carceral control system is a mutilation of the Body of Christ, the Beloved Community. I pray that Quakers throughout the US – and the world – will work to revitalize and continue our calling toward abolition and liberation that our spiritual ancestors heard before us. Spirit is still calling us, and our work is not yet finished, fFriends.
