London Quakers face the future

Trish Carn reports on a recent meeting about the challenges facing London Quakers

by Trish Carn 11th November 2011

The concerns of London Quakers took centre stage at Friends House last Saturday when two hundred Friends gathered together to consider a range of issues facing Quakers in the London area.  A pressing problem facing London Friends is having too many Meeting houses with too few Quakers to support them. There are approximately 1,440 Quakers in London in seven Area Meetings.
