Our work abroad
I am writing for those Friends who believe that charity begins at home and who want centrally managed work to concentrate on supporting Local Meetings in their work within their local communities When Friends are working effectively where they live and when that work is seen as the direct result of belonging to a worshipping community, people are more likely to become interested in experiencing that worship
We all know that many of the worst human rights abuses around the world – wars, famines, slave labour, spread of treatable diseases and poverty – are all worsened by the exploitation of richer countries We all know about the impact of our arms trade; our power over debtor countries; our control of world trade; our heavy use of the world's resources; and our major impact on climate change, which will be most destructive to the poorest countries
