See change: Christine Habgood-Coote thinks we should embrace digital options in our Meetings

‘Traditions have been important, but probably just as characteristic of Quakerism is a pattern of constant evolution and change.’

After two years of the threats, privations and uncertainties of Covid-19, many of us are keen to ‘return to normal’. We want to be able to move around public spaces without covering our faces. We want to use facial expressions and see the expressions of others – we miss giving and receiving smiles, cups of coffee, and food. For Quakers, this extends to a pull back to our Meeting houses, the buildings where we went to share a worshipful space, often in a tradition dating back hundreds of years.
