Patterns of Racial Wounding and Racial Justice in Quaker Communities PHP#495

The Quaker Coalition for Uprooting Racism (QCUR) strives to support Quaker communities in addressing patterns of racial wounding and in adopting practices that support patterns of racial justice. In this pamphlet, two members of the QCUR steering committee, Lauren Brownlee and Zenaida Peterson, explore Quaker patterns of conflict avoidance, “guardians of the status quo,” denying oppression exists within Quakerism, performativity, and inattention to right relationship with time. They offer guidance on how to recognize and shift these harmful patterns. Discussion questions are included.
