Minute of Support Recorded on February 9, 2025

Richland Monthly Meeting would like to add its support for the lawsuit that Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends, along with other yearly meetings and individual meetings, has filed against the Department of Homeland Security regarding the possible placement of agents of enforcement in houses of worship. Our Meeting agrees that this kind of activity disrupts worship, instills fear, and is unconstitutional. It is heartening to know that Friends are willing to stand up for their beliefs, as this lawsuit indicates.
