Early Quakers described themselves as ‘Friends of the Truth’ and more recently Quakers have sought to articulate that truth through expressions of values called ‘testimonies’. How do we relate to these in our inner and outer lives today?

This course will introduce each of these in turn and invite exploration of how we experience these in our personal spiritual practice and how we live them in our outward facing relationships with our communities and the world.
Live sessions will include some initial input from the tutor, time for individual reflection and opportunities to discuss in both small and whole groups.
