To all Friends everywhere

From 1st – 4th May 2015, 51 young Quakers gathered at Lee Valley youth hostel to discuss the theme ‘How do we as Quakers respond to injustice?’ We valued the presence of two ecumenical representatives and two representatives from Sweden Yearly Meeting.

We left behind the stresses and pressures of everyday life and created a welcoming atmosphere and a community with a warm heart. Social activities such as a ceilidh helped us to bond through fun and laughter, and worship sessions gave us an opportunity to share our spiritual journeys in a deep and creative way. We were able to support and uphold one another in learning, sharing, friendship and discovery.
