Epistle from Britain Yearly Meeting, 28 April to 1 May 2023

‘We need to be courageous, imaginative, careful, and joyful.’

by Signed in and on behalf of Yearly Meeting, Adwoa Burnley, clerk. 5th May 2023

Loving greetings to all Friends everywhere – Cyfleuwn gyfarchion cariadus i Gyfeillion ym mhob man. We meet at a time when existential issues face us within our aging and numerically-diminishing Society, and in the wider world. These require urgent responses. Quakers can show leadership and offer counsel that will help our nations in matters of the degradation of public truth, the climate and ecological crisis, and divisive public commentaries around people’s identities and associated rights.
