On Saturday evening the Quaker Arts Network asked How do the arts envision our witness? Amanda Jones, from the network, began by discussing some of its output over many years, most recently with the Loving Earth stitchwork project, which was now touring the world. Other examples – video this time – included the creative celebration of the 400th anniversary of George Fox’s birth. Amanda also mentioned the poetry workshops and writing groups with which members were involved.
