Junior Yearly Meeting Epistle
To all Friends everywhere
Between the second and ninth of August 2014, eighty-one Quakers between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, along with sixteen adult volunteers, met at Junior Yearly Meeting at Yearly Meeting Gathering in Bath to consider the theme: ‘The Changing Face of Quakerism – where are we going?’
During the week we engaged in a number of activities, such as speaker sessions, practical and creative activities and Base Groups. Our Base Group sessions were treasured portions of our busy timetable and provided us with a chance to bond in smaller groups, not least during the excitement of the Base Group Challenge. They were also relaxed environments in which to reflect and share our thoughts. We have enjoyed sharing conversation and fun with friends old and new. For the larks among us, prologues were peaceful beginnings to busy days. Our epilogues were important times of stillness and togetherness for all of us at the close of each day.
