Friends support Manchester Pride

Quakers join the LGBT community celebration

by Tara Craig 30th August 2014

Over the bank holiday weekend Manchester and Warrington Area Meeting once again celebrated Manchester Pride with a variety of activities.

Mount Street Meeting House hosted its popular Quaker ceilidh with a live band. There was an outdoor Meeting for Worship in the centre of Manchester and, as usual, a Quaker contingent walked in the main parade. The youngest participant this year was Elliott Conway from Warrington Meeting, aged one year and one week, who took part in his buggy.
