Threads of hope

Izzy Thorne writes about her experience at the Quaker Tapestry Museum in Kendal

We believe as Quakers that our faith is expressed through action. For me, the discovery of how I might express my faith began in 2013 when I joined Woodbrooke’s Equipping for Ministry (EfM) programme. It encouraged me to think about what it is to be a Quaker in the world today and how I am called to live out that ministry. At this time, I also benefited hugely from the warm depth of friendship and spiritual nourishment of Friends from Yealand Meeting, who, along with Lancashire Area Meeting, supported me with a bursary. This enabled me to join EfM at a time when I was not earning a regular income.
