Richard Thompson reports on Quaker activities across the channel

by Richard Thompson 19th October 2012

France Yearly Meeting returned for its Assemblée Annuelle to La Gardiole in the Gard Department, only fifty kilometres from Congénies, the only purpose-built Quaker Meeting House in France. There were just over thirty of us to put our theme into action: ‘Faisons notre avenir ensemble!’ – ‘Let us make our future together!’ We took on three big ‘Do It Yourself’ projects.

Wayfaring: A Guide To Guidance

"If you truly want to be led you must put yourself in a position that allows following" (PYM)

Though written within a Quaker and Christian context, this book can be used by anyone of any religious faith or secular inclination. The only requirement is a desire to follow, to be guided by, to align with the richness of the ineffable, which this book calls "the Way". This book seeks nothing less than to aid readers in aligning their lives with the same power and richness that animated the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
