‘It made me reflect on the different ways this journey is navigated.’

Andrew Norman on friends in other places

by Andrew Norman 2nd August 2019

I was very grateful when several readers of the Friend contacted me after I had written asking for insights from those who, like me, had been Anglicans before becoming Quakers. I used them to contribute to a Festival of Prayer in Cardiff earlier last month. The event began with the Eucharist. My contribution was later in the day so I was able to first enjoy one workshop on Queer spirituality and another on Islamic ways of prayer. Both took the form of small groups, in which we listened carefully and shared intuitions honestly; it felt very Quakerly.
