Sharing experiences at Malvern

Lea Cowin writes about a gathering of Friends at Malvern

The headline on the flyer for the late November weekend at Malvern was: ‘Sharing our stories over a morning, finishing with a shared lunch’. The aim of the workshop, led by facilitators Geoffrey Durham and Eoin McCarthy, was to encourage us all in Britain Yearly Meeting to help deepen the communal spirituality of Quaker Meetings. The path to knowing one another in the things that are eternal by sharing personal experience is at the heart of the Quaker faith and yet rarely shared with each other.
