Lessons on outreach from British Friends

Quakers on the tube

I was scheduled to have a blog post go up on the QuakerYouth blog last week, and since it happened to be the start of National Quaker Week in the UK (and apparently Australia too), I decided to write about British Friends. Emily was on vacation in NC though and didn’t post it in time, but if you can turn you mental clock back a week or two, here’s the link to Lessons on outreach from British Friends.

    Your quaker.org.uk link doesn’t work.

    Great picture, by the way.

    The ads on the tube seem like a wonderful, non-intrusive way of informing the public. I happen to get immediately turned off when someone shoves a piece of paper in my face on a streetcorner.

    On a side note, I want to say how much I enjoy your blog. It’s been very helpful in my research on Quakers. Thanks!

  • I am separated, as to bodily presence, from you; but I cannot forget you, because ye are written on my heart, and I cannot but desire your peace and welfare, as of my own soul.

    And this is my present cry for you. Oh that ye might feel the breath of life, that life which at first quickened you, and which still quickeneth, being felt; and that breath of life has power over death; and being felt by you, will bow down death in you, and ye will feel the seed lifting up its head over that which oppresseth it.
