Parallel Yearly Meeting sessions offered a range of perspectives on the Book of Discipline
by Rebecca Hardy, Ian Kirk-Smith, George Osgerby and Elinor Smallman
18th May 2018
On Saturday afternoon at Yearly Meeting Friends continued to respond to the question: ‘Is it time to revise Quaker faith & practice?’
The first part of the afternoon was devoted to ‘parallel sessions’ when groups of Friends met, in different spaces at Friends House, to discuss aspects of the Book of Discipline under a series of titles: a conversation in the large meeting house, religious difference, church government, missing identities, dance and art.
