During Second Month, 2025 Meeting for Worship with attention to business, Plymouth Monthly Meeting minuted their unity with Philadelphia Yearly Meeting’s lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for rescinding the policy protecting immigrants from ICE enforcement in places of worship. Our Meetings for Worship are shared sacramental moments of intimacy with the Divine in which all in attendance participate. Interruption or removal of a participant is not only disruptive but clearly destructive to the sacramental moment of prayerful engagement with God.
We are grateful and fully supportive of our Yearly Meeting and all the other religious organizations who have joined this lawsuit asking our Judicial Branch of government to permanently stop this threat to freedom of religion. We prayerfully hold in God’s Divine Light those who are litigating this lawsuit. May they receive guidance to proceed with a motion of love and steadfast determination in the work they are doing.”
