‘We know moral norms have changed. What are the moral norms today that we do not see but will be regarded as wrong in the future?’
Meeting for Sufferings: Digital discernment
Meeting for Sufferings 2-4 October took place online for the second time

9th October 2020
Friday
October’s Meeting for Sufferings (MfS) was originally planned as a residential gathering at Woodbrooke. Those Meetings offer representatives a good amount of time for reflection and fellowship, so it was perhaps this reminder of life before Covid restrictions that contributed to what was, at times, a somewhat sombre online gathering. The Society was already in a period of some financial recalibration when the virus hit, and Friends were clearly conscious of the pandemic’s impact on Quaker activities, particularly at Friends House and Woodbrooke.
