Laying down a concern
Marion McNaughton writes about Friends’ witness at Manchester Pride
Manchester and Warrington Friends have joyfully played a part in the annual Manchester Pride events for the last ten years. In that time Friends have walked with banners in the Pride parades, danced at the Quaker ceilidhs, prayed in outdoor Meetings for Worship, listened deeply and shared information at the Quaker stalls. We have also organised and run a Pride Quaker Quest series and a conference celebrating fifty years of Quaker concern for gay equality, and published two books on Quaker involvement in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues.
