Judith Roads is absorbed in exploring and sharing ways of giving service to Quaker meetings through appointed roles.
Have you recently taken on a clerking role or are you about to begin one? Join this residential weekend for in-person, in-depth training and reflection on the core aspects of being a Quaker Clerk, whether in the Meeting House or online.
This weekend provides an opportunity for deeper discussions, practice, and reflection for those with clerking responsibilities. Spending time with experienced tutors and fellow Friends will help you build both understanding and confidence in your role.
We will explore the spiritual basis of clerking, its online dimension, and the details of what happens before, during, and after a Meeting for Worship for Business. The course is facilitated by tutors with extensive experience as clerks.
