September 2008 – Quaker Work in Post-Yugoslavia Countries
The third series of the Children’s Work edition of Journeys in the Spirit focuses on exploring the concept of Quakers, a people of God. The issues alternate between offering ways for children to learn about, and explore, Quaker spirituality and ways to find out about what Quakers are doing in the world.
There was a country in South-East Europe called Yugoslavia. It was like a puzzle – lots of different peoples speaking different languages and going to different churches and mosques. It broke into 7 small countries including Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia. There were lots of horrible wars. This tells some of the story of how Quakers helped with peace and friendship building after the war.
