Friends around the world celebrated World Quaker Day on Sunday 1 October.
Across the country, Friends have welcomed people during Quaker Week (30 September-8 October), an initiative of Britain Yearly Meeting to raise the profile of Quakerism and explain what being a Friend is all about. People who are exploring faith journeys were invited to learn about the Quaker way, and events were held in many Local Meetings around the theme ‘In turbulent times… be a Quaker’.
