Remembrance Sunday peace witness
Mansfield Meeting held an outside Meeting for Worship on Remembrance Sunday

15th November 2013
Friends from Mansfield, where George Fox experienced his first ‘Opening’ in 1647, held their Meeting for Worship outside their Meeting house on Remembrance Sunday.
It provided a silent witness for peacebuilding as the Remembrance Day procession started and ended in the adjacent road.
Vivien Whitaker told the Friend: ‘The idea worked well for us and attracted a lot of interest and some supportive comments so we wanted to share it with other Meetings in case they are similarly co-located.’
