Doing business with Quakers

Kevin Redpath reflects on his experience

by Kevin Redpath 25th February 2011

It is not much fun, sometimes, doing business with Quakers. I say this lovingly as a birthright Friend who is immensely proud of his Quaker inheritance, is challenged and inspired by its testimonies, and happily gives his time voluntarily to the Society as a central committee member, prison visitor and trustee. However, when I’m asked to use my professional skills in helping a Quaker charity or business promote their work then I hope to be paid fairly for my contribution, my experience and my skills.
