Becoming Friends
Becoming Friends: Living and Learning with Quakers is an innovative learning project from Woodbrooke and Quaker Life which aims to nurture and support those who are new to Friends. It will help newcomers develop an understanding of Quakerism, while exploring their own journey, through engagement with flexible learning materials, on-line discussion groups and support from a network of ‘companions’ in local meetings.
The Becoming Friends course is now available online and in paper format. The online course costs £5 and the paper pack costs £10. You can sign up for the online course by following the instructions at www.woodbrooke.org.uk/becomingfriends or order the paper pack from the Quaker Centre bookshop. A free demonstration of the online Becoming Friends course is also available at http://moodle.woodbrooke.org.uk (use guest login).
Meetings can get ready for supporting newcomers using the Becoming Friends materials by sending a couple of Friends on a Becoming Friends companion course:
