Riches and rags to a Quaker view of Christmas

From riches to rags

Friends moved from rags to riches and riches to rags at the Geffrye Museum in East London on Saturday.

The popular museum hosted the launch of a new version of the board game Journey Home, co-created by Quaker author Jennifer Kavanagh, and visitors enjoyed playing the game during the afternoon. In the game players go on a journey as they move their counter around the board through different stages of life. Their fate is decided by the roll of a dice. In the process they explore family, shelter, community, the world around them and their inner peace.
