Northern Friends Peace Board gathering

'We were also reminded of the importance of seeking to understand the background and context of areas of conflict and crisis and the needs of those involved.’

Around seventy Friends gathered at Friargate Meeting House in York last month to explore the theme of Living our Peace Testimony. Organised by Northern Friends Peace Board (NFPB), participants came from across the north, including parts of northern England, Scotland, and north Wales. The gathering on 13 June was in place of one of NFPB’s main members’ meetings, as they wanted to engage with, and support, a larger group of Friends.
