Being a Quaker Parent

Birmingham
This is an opportunity for
parents and carers to explore together some of the joys and challenges of being
part of a Quaker community.
We will share our experiences and
reflect together on what being a Quaker and a parent means to us and consider
how we live out our faith in the world and in our daily lives, reflecting on
how we and our Quaker communities can nourish and support each other.
Accompanying children aged 5 to
11 will attend ‘Exploring Worship’ which runs simultaneously. A crèche will be
available for children under 5, and a light-touch programme for 12 to 15 year
olds.
