Meeting for Sufferings: Your Area, your Meeting

Time was devoted to the relationship between Area Meetings and Meeting for Sufferings on 4-6 December

by Tara Craig 11th December 2015

Meeting for Sufferings was held over the weekend of 4 to 6 December at the Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre in Birmingham, a change from its normal Saturday meeting in London.

Much time at Sufferings was devoted to considering the challenges and opportunities facing Area Meetings today. This was included in the agenda following the ‘Meeting for Sufferings Roadshows’, which saw the clerks and members of the arrangement group travel around Britain to visit Area Meetings.
