Jane Muers discusses experiences of moving into membership

by Jane Muers 23rd November 2018

Our Local Meeting has recently welcomed three new members – Friends who had been part of our Meeting community for some two to five years. It was a ‘joyful occasion’ (Quaker faith & practice 11.12). The process of their moving into membership had been a very positive experience. We had thought carefully about this process, referring to chapter eleven in Quaker faith & practice (Qf&p) as it appears in the fifth edition.
