Keith Walton considers Advices & queries for young people

Journeys in the Spirit, published by the Children and Young People’s team at Friends House, is a very useful set of ideas and resources for Children’s Meeting.

One of their suggested plans listed Advices & queries 19 as a reference. I asked the children in my Meeting to read it aloud, and was met with blank faces as they struggled through it. The thirteen- and fourteen-year-olds worked out what it meant (with prompting), but it was gobbledygook to the younger ones.

I wondered if Advices & queries could be made accessible to younger people. Here is my attempt. Enjoy. And please comment – I am sure it’s not perfect, or complete.
