What have you learned from the process of reading Quaker faith & practice?
The Book of Discipline Revision Preparation Group invite feedback from all those who have been reading our current book whether you have formed a group, read it alone, raced ahead or are taking it slowly. There is only one question: what have you learned from the process of reading Quaker faith & practice? Your comments will inform the process of discernment about whether it is time to revise our book of discipline, which Yearly Meeting will probably consider in 2018
Please complete the form at: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ReadingQfp or write to Michael Booth, Friends House, 173 Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ.

Take action on fracking at ‘meeting for worship for witness’ on Pendle Hill
2pm, 6 May, Pendle Hill, Lancashire
Pendle Hill Friends invite you to a ‘meeting for worship for witness’ on top of Pendle Hill to draw attention to the threat of potential local shale gas fracking. This follows a statement by Meeting for Sufferings in February calling for a ban on fracking to help urgently tackle our climate crisis. If you’d like to find out more about the event or want to attend, please contact Maya Williams mayaw@quaker.org.uk, 020 7663 1056
To find out more about fracking and other ways of taking action, visit www.quaker.org.uk/sustainability.

Nuclear weapons ban treaty Lobby of Parliament, 1 March
Multilateral negotiations for a new nuclear disarmament treaty begin in New York on 27 March. 134 countries will be taking part, and the UK is not one of them, despite ‘multilateral disarmament’ being government policy. We are being asked to write to our MPs and to the Foreign Secretary, sign a petition and attend a mass lobby of parliament on 1 March to urge our government to attend.
