The ministry of words

Vanessa Julye and Harriet Hart describe how Quakers Uniting in Publications (QUIP) has influenced them

by Vanessa Julye and Harriet Hart 4th February 2011

The organisation, Quakers Uniting in Publications, was informally begun in 1983 by a group of Friends with a concern for the ministry of the written word. The group, consisting originally of Quaker publishers and booksellers, now includes over a hundred members including authors, bloggers and editors from all over the world. Committed to the publishing of truth and to the distribution of Quaker publications, QUIP strives to provide a forum for the exchange of editorial concerns, to keep an updated list of current Quaker publications accessible to the public and to increase awareness of Quaker publications in the broader religious book market. Their annual meetings include business, education and sharing, grounded in faith and worship.
