Outreach is the sharing of information on Quaker convictions, beliefs, practices with the general public. We are not out to convert people but to point them to the divine light that is in them. As well as working nationally on behalf of Britain Yearly Meeting, the Outreach Section encourages all Friends in the practice of sharing their spiritual journeys with others and listening to the journeys of other people.
Quakers around Britain will be speaking up during the fifth national Quaker Week, 1-9 October, about making peace a way of life.
It is three hundred and fifty years since Quakers declared to the King that “we are a people that follow after those things that make for peace, love and unity” and that sets the theme for Quaker Week: Make peace a way of life.
Friends House, the London home of Quakers in Britain, welcomed actress Sheila Hancock to the new Quaker Centre during National Quaker Week, 3-11 October. She said being a Quaker was deeply important to her and she encouraged Quakers to overcome their instinctive humility and to speak up about their faith.
