Read, Reflect, Respond: The Big Read

Reading alongside others can deepen understanding, raise new questions and reveal perspectives we might otherwise miss. Whether you've only just begun or are already familiar with the draft, you'll find encouragement and companionship as we explore it together.

Meeting regularly over several weeks, we'll read selected sections aloud, spend time in worship and share reflections in a welcoming and inclusive environment. There is no expectation of prior knowledge and no pressure to have all the answers—only a willingness to read, listen and learn together.

Quakers have always learned through shared experience and collective discernment. Reading together reflects that tradition, recognising that our understanding of faith is enriched through listening to one another as well as to the text itself.

The live sessions will take place on Zoom at 18:45-20:45 (UK time), fortnightly on Thursdays.
