From birthdays to connections
Birthdays in Brighton
Friends in Brighton have just celebrated a remarkable and joyful event – the ninetieth birthdays of three of their members: Joyce Laverpreddy, Pat Norman and Magda Cross (pictured above).
Harvey Gillman, the gifted writer, story teller and Brighton Friend, was delighted to give Eye news of the event:
‘We rejoice with our “mothers in Israel” – early Quakers used this term (based on a Biblical reference to the intrepid and feisty Hebrew prophet, Deborah). It is good to think that our ancient Quaker tradition of inspiring women continues’.
Eye wishes Joyce, Pat and Magda many happy returns.
