A Bristol Friend has played a key role in the installation of a blue plaque commemorating 'nonmilitant' suffrage campaigners

A Friend from Redland Meeting in Bristol has played a key role in the putting up of a blue plaque to commemorate the city’s ‘nonmilitant’ suffrage campaigners. Lucienne Boyce, of Redland Meeting, campaigned for the blue plaque to be installed at 3 West Mall, Clifton to mark the home of The Bristol and West of England Society for Women’s Suffrage. The plaque was unveiled on 15 December 2018 by Bristol West Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire who has spoken out previously about her Quaker heritage.

Wayfaring: A Guide To Guidance

"If you truly want to be led you must put yourself in a position that allows following" (PYM)

Though written within a Quaker and Christian context, this book can be used by anyone of any religious faith or secular inclination. The only requirement is a desire to follow, to be guided by, to align with the richness of the ineffable, which this book calls "the Way". This book seeks nothing less than to aid readers in aligning their lives with the same power and richness that animated the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
