Eye shares 'Just for fun' prompts for the senses, dips into the archive with a heartfelt dedication to a late editor, discovers more affectionate archetypes, and hears about an ubuntu day held by Loughborough Meeting
Just for fun
While many of the ‘Just for fun’ prompts in the current edition of the Friends Quarterly appeal to wordsmiths, there are also invitations to the senses:
‘The images in this edition [2025 – Issue 3] are taken from the Unsplash website and the Quaker Loving Earth Project. Spend time out and about (or even indoors) and send us some photos which we could use in our next edition, on Eden (November 2025). Or consider offering a 3,000 word essay (or images) on one of our 2026 topics: February (food or fasting); May (our book of discipline); August (community); November (prayer). Email editor@friendsquarterly.org with your contributions.’
The editors have been listening to a ‘Transformation’ playlist on streaming media. ‘Which tracks of music would you like to include on a Quaker Transformation playlist? Email editor@friendsquarterly.org and we’ll build the list!’
