France Yearly Meeting

Richard Thompson reports on a recent gathering of Quakers in France

by Richard Thompson 23rd November 2018

Between sixty and seventy of us met together in Paris at the L’Enclos Rey, a Catholic centre, surrounded by the teeming streets and avenues of the fifteenth arrondissement just behind the Eiffel Tower. Our meeting room looked onto a beautiful park, with even a prehistoric grotto, to help us find our perspective! Finding this calm amidst the noise of the world was an excellent place to consider our theme ‘Despair or Confidence.’
