Quaker Week
Speakers for Quaker Week 2018
29 September
– 7 October 2018
The theme for
Quaker Week 2018 is ‘Room for more’. Sharing food and spiritual nourishment is central
to this year’s campaign. As Quakers we offer a table rich with good things, but
recognise that it could be more inclusive. There is room for more at the table,
and we value everyone who might sit at it. How can we let people know that there’s
a space for them? You can now book your speaker for Quaker Week. We can offer speakers
on a wide range of subjects. It is worth thinking carefully about the topic,
and whether it will encourage people from other parts of your community to
attend speakers@quaker.org.uk
