Loving Your Neighborhood

Published: July 17, 2020

You are invited to join a webinar led by Anthony Manousos called “Loving Your Neighborhood” on Thursday, August 6, at 7 pm, sponsored by Western Friend. Together we’ll explore what Friends have done, and what we can do now, to address the homelessness and affordable housing crisis during this time of pandemic. Learn how George Fox called on Parliament to turn over church land to the poor, and how churches today are seeking to use their excess land for affordable/homeless housing. Find out how the Quakers started Self Help Enterprises to enable farm workers to build their own homes—the inspiration for Habitat. Discover ways you can help organize your community to make affordable/homeless housing happen and transform lives.
