‘There are many Friends like Albert and Dorothy.’

In their own manner: Gerard Guiton’s Thought for the Week

‘There are many Friends like Albert and Dorothy.’

by Gerard Guiton 12th July 2024

After my first Quaker Meeting I got talking to Albert. Nearly three hours later I set off home, amazed and grateful for his spending so much time with me. He recalled his life in Nottinghamshire, his emigration adventures, and told me what Quakerism meant to him. Albert was saintly, humble, gentle, down-to-earth. Active in Quaker peace committees, I saw just how Friends loved him.
