Equipping for Ministry

Equipping for Ministry (also known as EfM) is an extended learning programme for Quakers who want to deepen their understanding of Quakerism and become more confident in living Spirit-led lives within the Quaker community and the wider world. The previous version of EfM ended in 2021.

In 2022 we conducted a review of Equipping for Ministry, with the aim of developing a new version of this extended learning programme. Our intention was to launch this in late 2024.

Because of a number of changes at Woodbrooke, including the departure of staff previously responsible for EfM, we have had to delay this until 2025. We recognise how meaningful EfM has been in the lives of many Quakers and understand the importance of providing opportunities for extended and deeper learning for Friends. We look forward to sharing more information when we have it in the coming months.
