Who is my neighbour?

Pleasaunce Perry and Robert Foulkes report on Ireland Yearly Meeting

by Pleasaunce Perry and Robert Foulkes 13th May 2016

Ireland Yearly Meeting (IYM) this year challenged Friends to consider the question: ‘Who is my neighbour?’

The quotation from Quaker Life and Practice, which underpinned the theme further, probed participants:

‘How can we, such a small insignificant group of people as the Society of Friends help to stem the tide of evil and hate, and greed and fear that is so wide-spread in the world today?’

C Winifred Lamb, c.1954
