‘For our comfort and discomfort: Living equality and truth in a time of crisis.'

Over 1,800 people have already booked their place on this year’s Yearly Meeting Gathering (YMG) – thought to be one of the highest numbers in recent years..
Clare Scott Booth, clerk of the Gathering, said: ‘For centuries, Quakers have come together in fellowship to see each other’s faces. This year we’ll be together on our screens, though apart. In deep stillness we can listen for the promptings of love and truth in our hearts and discern the work we are emboldened to do. We’re delighted to welcome so many, particularly children and young people.’
