Exeter Quakers celebrate diversity

'Our own contribution was Quakerly in its gentleness – paper peace doves, decorated and hung round the necks of visitors, information about the Society and invitations to come and sample our form of worship.'

Exeter Quakers took part in the city’s weekend-long Respect Festival, designed to promote peace and tolerance. Friends hosted a tent and two days of Meeting for Worship. Despite ‘limited interest’, there were ‘moving conversations’, said Bob Lovett from Exeter Meeting, showing ‘there is spiritual hunger out there’.
