How do we encourage quality and depth in Quaker worship and spoken ministry? This workshop gives an opportunity for whole Quaker communities to consider this important question together, guided by our tutor who will provide a supportive framework for learning and sharing. We aim to create an inclusive environment, and encourage Friends to speak from their own experience and beliefs, while respecting those of others.
There is some flexibility in the content of the workshop, so we may be able to adjust the emphasis to meet particular needs of your Meeting – for example, to help address concerns and perceptions about ‘inappropriate’ ministry, or ‘too much’ or ‘too little’ ministry.
We also review the phenomenon of ‘Afterwords’, based on Rhiannon Grant’s research on this topic in 2016. We outline its various forms, reflect on its possible benefits and drawbacks, and help you work out its place – if any – in your Meeting.
