QPSW Autumn Conference - A changing world: changing the way we work
30 October - 1 November 2015, Derbyshire
- How is the work of QPSW changing?
- How can Friends continue to uphold the work done on their behalf?
- How can Friends become more involved in the work of QPSW?
Many Friends have long been supporters and upholders of the work of Quaker Peace & Social Witness. This conference aims to connect those Friends more closely with the work and with each other. We will look at the way we have been building links across the work at staff and committee levels and at how we have been changing the way we work in response to requests from Friends.
You will have the opportunity to meet with Friends currently serving on sub committees overseeing the work of QPSW, and, we hope, with representatives from Meeting for Sufferings and BYM Trustees to see how Britain Yearly Meeting puts faith into action. We also expect to hear from Friends working in their local area with assistance from QPSW.
We will spend time reflecting on the spiritual underpinning of the work and how we can continue to uphold the work. And there will be time for Friends to connect with one another – either geographically or according to areas of interest.
This conference is particularly aimed at:
- Longstanding supporters of QPSW
- QPSW Correspondents
- Committee members or those interested in offering service
