Ireland Yearly Meeting: Knowing God’s creation
Heather Bewley reports on Ireland Yearly Meeting
For the second time in three years Ireland Yearly Meeting (IYM) was held in a new venue. This year we met in Dromantine Retreat and Conference Centre, near Newry in County Down, Northern Ireland (see photo above). We welcomed Friends from Britain, Germany and France, as well as eleven Friends from America. We were pleased to be joined, also, by representatives from other churches and the Baha’i Faith.
The theme for the weekend was ‘Knowing God’s Creation – I have taught you wisdom and the right way to live. Nothing will stand in your way if you walk wisely and you will not stumble when you run’ (Proverbs 4:11-12). This was the inspiration for the daily readings, many of which were poems. Bible study, worship sharing and the epilogue gave opportunities for the exchange of thoughts and wisdom.
