Outreach and Quaker Week 2012

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.

Quaker Week 2012

Quaker Week will be happening again this year and runs between Friday September 28th and Sunday October 7th and Quaker Life has committed to support those who want to take part. Just as with previous years, we're very clear that Quaker Week is not compulsory: meetings should take part or not as they feel led! Similarly, there is flexibility in the dates: some meetings ran a couple of weeks early or late to fit in with local events this year and that's fine next year too.

Guides for 2012 will be available soon, but 2011 materials (including this poster) are here for reference.
