Meeting for Sufferings: End of life issues and assisted dying
End of life issues were a large part of Quaker Life’s report to Meeting for Sufferings
End of life issues were a large part of Quaker Life’s report to Meeting for Sufferings. However, before the discussion, Martin Pennock, clerk of Quaker Life Central Committee (QLCC), told Sufferings a bit about the committee and its work.
General secretary Richard Summers then gave a brief overview of Quaker Life’s work ‘to strengthen and sustain the fabric of Quaker life within our Yearly Meeting’. This work ranges from the Quaker Centre at Friends House, with its worship space, café and bookshop, to work with those involved with the Yearly Meeting’s children and young people. Quaker Life also helps Meetings in areas such as employment and wardenship, Quaker chaplaincy work, outreach, pastoral care, marriages, the Quaker Life Network and the Library at Friends House.
