Jan Lethbridge reflects on Peace Poles

by Jan Lethbridge 13th September 2013

Every (Quaker) home should have one…

Our Friend Jan Lethbridge believes that ‘every Quaker home at least’ should follow the initiative taken by Pales Meeting.

She explains: ‘Earlier this summer a Peace Pole was installed at Pales Meeting house in Wales. The report in the Friend on 21 June struck a chord with us at Dumfries Meeting in Scotland: for the European base of the World Peace Prayer Society (WPPS), who produce the peace poles, is located in a small village a few miles outside Dumfries.
