‘Are our hearts and minds open to the possibilities of change?’

Yearly Meeting 2023: Session 2 - Releasing Energy and Revitalising Quaker Communities

‘Are our hearts and minds open to the possibilities of change?’

by Rebecca Hardy, Elinor Smallman, Joseph Jones 5th May 2023

In Session Two, on Saturday morning, Friends considered the first part of the theme: ‘How to release energy and revitalise Quaker communities’. First, in worship, a Friend spoke of how he ‘fell in love this morning’, on the way to Friends House, looking at the blossom and the ‘lack of prudence’ of nature. Worship is how we give thanks for the blossom, he said; testimony is how we take the blossom into the world.
