June 2011 – More Quaker Stories – Jack Hoyland, Quaker and bear maker
This issue tells the story of a remarkable Quaker called John Hoyland, Jack to his friends, whose whole life was spent helping people. He was a parent, teacher, sportsman, poet, author of sixty books, and he made bears! The bear making came much later in his life. The story of the bears is used as a way to hear about Jack’s life and his work in India and Birmingham.
