Going forth in peace online events

Building on this year's Yearly Meeting theme of Peace, Friends are invited to a series of online sessions exploring what comes next. The Faith in Action team will host the three sessions looking what is happening, how you can get involved and what support is available.

Date: Tuesday 1 July

Start your day with a guided grounding meditation and silent, shared Meeting for Worship online. You will be invited to share something you are grateful for and connect with a feeling of peace within yourself. Whether or not you are able to join for any of the other sessions today, you are welcome to be in the silent, prayerful space together and ground in gratitude.

In the lunchtime and evening sessions, we will explore what we are called to do, individually and collectively, and how are we called to be? How can we go forth in faith and in peace, in the face of increasing division, oppression and escalating conflicts? What support is there to take action following spaces of discernment?

These two online spaces will provide space to reflect and then speak in small, facilitated groups, to explore what next steps we might take for peace, as individual Quakers but also how this might inform centrally managed peace work with Quakers in Britain.

Please register in advance, and if you have any questions email the Faith in Action team.
