One of Eye’s delights is discovering Quakers in unexpected places, as well as learning if specific depictions of Quakers inspired a newcomer to venture to a Meeting. 

Where have you spied Friends or Quakerly connections? Is there a depiction that has stuck with you? Or is there a story behind your first visit to a Meeting that you’d like to share?
