Friends on ‘how we live together’

Two Quakers were interviewed in The Guardian newspaper

Two Friends from Oxford Meeting appeared in The Guardian newspaper last month talking about their experiences of sharing a home. In the interview for the ‘How we live together’ section on 25 January, Friends Marie and Lynette described how they became housemates through networks at Oxford Meeting House.

Attender Marie said: ‘I heard about Quakerism and found the worshipping in shared silence really powerful.’ Meanwhile, in Lynette’s section, she said: ‘One of the things about Quakerism is you are required to tell the truth, which can be difficult. I probably err on the side of being polite and caring rather than stating the bald truth, but Marie tells you what she is thinking and I admire her for it.’

The interviews have so far received 213 shares on social media.
