Thought for the Week: Shared values

Peter Kurer reflects on shared values

by Peter Kurer 19th July 2013

In 1938 my family and I were saved from the Nazis by members of the Religious Society of Friends. My brother and I, when we came to Britain, were then given two free years at Quaker boarding schools. After two years my father could afford to support us. All of our school education was at Quaker boarding schools. Later, two of my own daughters also had their education at a Quaker boarding school. In all my Quaker education, I never heard one word that conflicted with what I had learnt at home.
