Quakers have celebrated LGBT history this month through outreach and art. Exmouth Quakers invited members and allies of the LGBT community to join them as part of the town’s Exmouth Pride festival. Linking with its mind, body and spirit theme, the Exmouth Pride organisers wrote on Facebook: ‘It was very moving to experience Quaker meditation together in a space where LGBT+ people are fully included and affirmed. Some people expressed the bad experiences they have had with religion in the past. It felt healing and gives me hope for the future.’
