Greetings

Christmas greetings from our editor

‘And when the time called Christmas came, while others were feasting and sporting themselves I would have gone and looked out poor widows from house to house, and have given them some money.’  George Fox, writing in his Journal, in a slightly disparaging manner about Christmas. It is a season of complexity for British Quakers, offending their sense of simplicity and justice, and cutting across their belief that one day above others should not be celebrated.
