Meeting for Sufferings: Vibrancy initiative
Friends were encouraged to take part in an initiative to foster increased vibrancy in Meetings
Friends across Britain were encouraged at Meeting for Sufferings to take part in an initiative to foster increased vibrancy in Meetings. Lizzie Rosewood, recently appointed as the Programme Developer for the Vibrancy in Meetings Initiative, spoke enthusiastically about her work and her visits in the past three months to Quakers in Britain.
She explained that the aim of the joint initiative between Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre and Britain Yearly Meeting was to nurture and support Local and Area Meetings ‘so they can grow and flourish.’
She made several recommendations, such as appointing regional workers who would support Meetings and the idea of a telephone helpline, which were well received. She wished to hear from Meetings that had successful initiatives and to learn of ideas that can be replicated elsewhere. She also welcomed invitations from Meetings to come and visit them.
Friends were supportive of the initiative and wished it success.
