Sunday Sessions: Talking Confidently About Our Quaker Faith
Sunday 18 October 2026
12:15-13:15 (UK time)
Rhiannon Grant
In a new kind of session for Woodbrooke, we are inviting whole meetings to gather together after Meeting for Worship and join us in an exploration of talking confidently about Quakerism to each other and to those new to Friends through shared learning and reflection.
We deepen our experience of both worship and worshipping community by being able to have conversations, in clear language, about our experiences. We also need to be able to talk confidently to family, friends and others if they are to understand our wish to come to meetings, and to newcomers if they are to be welcomed into Quakerism. This session will help Friends to think about language they are comfortable with and to practise that with each other.
Meetings are encouraged to share lunch together, either before or after, as part of the day. Each meeting will need a named Friend, or small organising group, to coordinate the physical space and Zoom connection locally. Seeing other meetings gathered on screen offers a rare opportunity to learn alongside the wider Quaker community while remaining rooted in local community.
This course will involve:
Discussion, Zoom Session
