Church and Peace: Barbara Forbes attends the annual gathering

‘This was one of the richest of our meetings.’

by Barbara Forbes 26th March 2021

Our now-annual gathering of ‘Church and Peace’ took place on 13 March, organised again with our colleagues from the Fellowship of Reconciliation. Although scheduled as the ‘Britain and Ireland Regional Meeting’, we were able to welcome speakers from Belgium and the USA, and participants came from Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Albania, Russia and Pakistan. Many Quakers attended but also Mennonites, Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Methodists, Baptists, Unitarians – and we were glad to welcome one Muslim.
