Britain Yearly Meeting 2018: Sharing stories

Elinor Smallman explores what children and young people got up to at Yearly Meeting

by Elinor Smallman 18th May 2018

Themes emphasising the importance of sharing stories and expressing beliefs enabled children and young people to explore issues related to Yearly Meeting’s consideration of Quaker faith & practice (Qf&p) from 4 to 7 May.

There were 160 Friends aged under-eighteen taking part in Yearly Meeting, supported by twenty-nine adult volunteers and five members of staff from Quaker Life. They shared their experiences through minutes and an epistle at a Yearly Meeting session on Monday 7 May.
