Gathering at a ‘thin place’

Julia Lim reports on the recent Meeting of Friends in Wales

by Julia Lim 14th December 2018

The October 2018 gathering of Meeting of Friends in Wales took place at The Pales Meeting House on a brilliantly sunny but cold Saturday. We were over forty Friends from all corners of Wales. Friends made their contributions in Welsh or English, with the usual excellent simultaneous translation. Holding a Meeting for Worship where all present can minister in their first language is important and enriching. For me, it intensifies the sense of being part of a shared undertaking to learn what is eternal in each other’s inner lives, in this culturally and spiritually rich place that is Wales.
