Manchester Friends took part in a session on gender on 16 August as part of Quaker Manchester Pride 2015.
The session was entitled ‘Quiet lives filled with light’ and was led by Jennie Barnsley of Hardshaw and Mann Area Meeting. She drew on the research she did for her recent PhD, which included interviewing those dealing with complex gender lives and exploring how gender experiences can illuminate spiritual experiences.
