A time of change

Ian Kirk-Smith reflects on Yearly Meeting 2018

by Ian Kirk-Smith 11th May 2018

A wide ranging and careful consideration of a book at the heart of British Quakerism, Quaker faith & practice, dominated the main sessions of the 350th consecutive Yearly Meeting of Friends in Britain, held at Friends House in London between 4-7 May 2018.

The unbroken sequence of Yearly Meetings is a remarkable achievement – a sign of continuity, tradition and legacy. However, there was a distinct feeling that ‘change was in the air’ and a sense of looking to the future in Friends House over the bank holiday weekend.
