Quakerism 101

Date(s) - 03/06/2016 - 09/06/2016   

Led by Helen Bayes

We will explore the core beliefs and experiences that underpin Quaker words, practices and ways of worship. We will look at the joy and challenges of living the testimonies, handling business and building community. The course process will help clarify where you are in your own faith journey, in relation to other Friends, past and present. Our aim is to find ways for you to put your roots down deeper into the rich soil of Quaker faith and practice.

This course is suitable for those new to Meeting, or who are thinking of applying for membership. It is also suitable for Friends wanting to expand and deepen their sense of belonging to the Meeting and to the global community of Friends.
