We’re a multi-generational Friends village dedicated to the Quaker SPICES (S implicity, P eace, I ntegrity, C ommunity, E quality, and S sustainability or S tewardship). We’re in the very beginning stages of four new mission areas: affordable housing, the creative and performing arts, organic agriculture, and war tax resistance.
“SPICES” is our acronym. The six letters stand for: Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship/Sustainability.
Simplicity means “it’s a gift to be simple, it’s a gift to be free.” Peace is not merely the absence of war. Peace is the absence of the need for war, as Gil Scott-Heron reminds us. Integrity is a call to say what we mean and mean what we say. “Let your Yes mean yes and your No mean no” (Mt. 5:37). Community is the reason we exist. We’re convinced we’re better together (though it doesn’t always feel like it). Equality means that if we live in the Light, we’re “neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, male nor female, for we are all one” (Gal 3:28). Stewardship/Sustainability reminds us that we have a planet to heal.
