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

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

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.
