The Friend reports from Yearly Meeting 2024, Friday to Sunday

Ahead of Session Two, on Saturday morning, Friends arrived to a witness in the Friends House garden by members of the Quaker Support for Climate Action group. They wanted to send a message to Friends. Some felt that the climate was not high enough on the national agenda, and that Quakers ought to do more as a national movement. It certainly gave some participants pause for thought as they entered a session focused internally, on changing Quaker structures of governance.
