In the second of our 2025 Eva Koch Scholar presentations Golders Green Friends will share their vision of how their meeting house, set in ancient woodland, might be used as a hub of spiritual strength and witness to nurture each other and our environment.
They write: “We know that this sustaining space is valued by those who use it for worship, retreats, well-being classes, and those who simply sit a while in the front garden. We seek ways to support Quakers acting under concern on climate change, climate justice and other global issues. We will explore the viability of our leadings and their potential relevance to the wider Quaker community. We are committed to spiritual learning and growing together. We will reach out to others of faith and none, to build a witness that holds to hope and resilience.”
Come and hear more about how this process is going.
