About Representative Council
Quaker Life Central Committee has a Representative Council which is made up of representatives from every area meeting. The Council provides a two-way channel of communication with Friends in their meetings, the main purposes being educational, inspirational and consultative.
The council meets for two weekend gatherings a year where a combination of workshops and group sessions provides us with the space to engage with issues relating to Quaker Life work.
Please refer to Quaker faith & practice 8.13-8.14 (4th edition) - [opens in new window] for more details about Quaker Life Representative Council.
