The duty of the Society of Friends is to be the voice of the oppressed but [also] to be conscious that we ourselves are part of that oppression. Uncomfortably we stand with one foot in the kingdom of this world and with the other in the Eternal Kingdom. Seldom can we keep the inward and outward working of love in balance, let alone the consciousness of living both in time and in eternity, in timelessness. Let us not be beguiled into thinking that political action is all that is asked of us, nor that our personal relationship with God excuses us from actively confronting the evil in this world. The political and social struggles must be waged, but a person is more and needs more than politics, else we are in danger of gaining the whole world but losing our souls

May 2026
Following the success of our clothing swap in December we did a second one in May!
We’re so thankful for the Center for Public Secrets who generously donated the use of the space to us. They do some really cool work over there highlighting local communities histories, especially those that aren’t usually acknowledged. As always all clothing left over after the event was donated to local groups including other community closets, Youth Services Tulsa, and Family and Children’s Services.
In the future we will be re-naming these from ‘Clothing Swaps’ to ‘Pop-Up Community Closets’ to help clarify what we’re doing.
December 2025
The Green Country Friends Meeting will be sponsoring the cost of the room for a community event in Sand Springs, OK.
The event is open to anyone in the area regardless of what they are able to bring. Any donations should be gently used and attendees are welcome to take whatever they need from the event free of charge.
This event was proposed to us by a member of our Meeting and we are excited to be able to support charitable actions in our Friends communities.
If you have a suggestion for other ways our Meeting could be involved in community events please feel free to reach out.
