Mental Health Conversations

This is a new report, based on conversations with Friends who have lived experience of mental health problems. It offers insights into the experience and into how meetings respond and what helps or doesn’t. It asks the question: what is our Quaker ministry on mental health?

Share with Friends interested in mental health and ask them to help the meeting to reflect – and to take action. LINK TO PDF VERSION booklet available in meeting

New publication from Land Value Tax group

The Quaker Land Value Tax Group has produced the enclosed publication ‘Towards equality: the hidden role of land’, with help from a QPSW grant.

22) Perchwch yr amrywiaeth eang sydd yn ein mysg yn ein bywydau a’n cysylltiadau. Gochelwch rhag ffurfio barn ragfarnllyd am deithiau bywyd pobl eraill. A ydych yn meithrin yr ysbryd o gyd-ddyheu ac o faddeuant a fynnir gennym, a ninnau’n ddisgyblion? Cofiwch fod pob un ohonom yn unigryw, yn werthfawr, yn blentyn i Dduw.

22) Respect the wide diversity among us in our lives and relationships. Refrain from making prejudiced judgments about the life journeys of others. Do you foster the spirit of mutual understanding and forgiveness which our discipleship asks of us? Remember that each one of us is unique, precious, a child of God.
