Let’s see what love and respect for all creation can do.

Our spiritual transformation is essential to heal our relationships with each other and the natural world and its wholeness.

Our GREEN ORGANIZING ACTION TEAM (GOAT) seeks to raise the level of concern and encourage spirit-led action to the climate crisis through the promotion of ecological sustainability, and environmental justice. Learn More

ACTIVISM. We recognize that individual actions are not enough! The only way we are going to change the dire trajectory we are on is to work to change policy. Homewood Friends has been very active in supporting Maryland legislation to address the climate crisis, including opposing fracking, and supporting the Clean Energy Jobs Act and the Climate Solutions Now Act. We also worked on successfully banning chlorpyrifos. We work in collaboration with Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Interfaith Power & Light, and Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake.

ZERO WASTE (recycling, composting, and reducing waste). Homewood Friends Meeting has been working on Zero Waste with a reduction of food waste (composting), electronic recycling, reduction in paper use at meetings, and reduction in water use (toilets, sinks, and hand dishwashing). We retain stormwater runoff from our roof using two cisterns. We also have provided education on the reduction in the use of plastics. Learn more about Recycling.
