Woodbrooke and Quakers in Britain working in partnership.
How does Meeting for Worship happen, and what is the role of Quaker elders in holding and sustaining it? What do you understand by the ‘right holding’ of Meeting for Worship? We will consider these questions together and deepen our practice of eldership on behalf of our Quaker communities.
Being a Quaker elder can be inspiring but also challenging. This monthly space on the second Monday of every month is a space for those with eldership responsibilities or who are interested in the practice of Quaker eldership to come together to consider and learn how to be an elder in your Quaker community.
This February session builds on the January ‘Foundation’ session. It is not a requirement, but it helps you to get the most out of the series:
• 11 January: Foundation of Quaker Eldership
• 8 March: Quaker Eldership and Vocal Ministry
• 12 April: Quaker Eldership and Meeting for Worship for Business
These are not drop-ins but you can book right up to the start of the session at 7pm.
This course will involve:
Discussion, Workshop, Written and visual, Zoom Session
