Gatherings and conference
Answering
that of God in everyone:
A diversity and inclusion
national gathering
18–20 January 2019, Woodbrooke
A diverse and inclusive community
where all are welcomed has been an ever present aspiration for Quakers. This
conference aims to equip Friends to make it a reality, offering keynote
speeches, workshops, opportunities for informal discussion and all-age worship,
all as discreet standalone sessions. We will explore diversity in a variety of
forms, including race and ethnicity, class, age, sexuality and gender, in an
intersectional way. Prepare to be challenged and inspired.
