Venue: City Literary Institute, Keeley Street, WC2B 4BA
Quaker ‘discernment’ is used by big business for
consensus decision-making, while Quakers are
often invited to areas of confl ict as mediators and
peace-builders. This introduction to Quakers tries
to explain why.
What is the course about?
The course is an introduction to the core Quaker experience, that of listening to the voice within, and why an institution with an ‘archaic’ image still has meaning and resonance for people today. The purpose of a Quaker ‘Meeting’ is to empower individuals to achieve spiritual growth and be enabled to translate feelings into socially positive action. From the mysticism of the early Quakers to the quietism of more
recent times, the Quaker discipline of ‘discernment’ is now sought after by big business as a radical model for consensus decision-making, while Quakers are invited all over the world to areas of confl ict as mediators and peace-builders. This introduction will hopefully raise as many questions as it answers.

• A Threshing Meeting utilises exploration and lively debate to clarify an issue.
• A district is a group of local meetings to which some of the responsibilities of the London Area Meeting would be delegated. https://londonquakers.org.uk/districts-proposal/
• We hope to discover how we might organise ourselves as a LAM by involving optional Districts that some feel are essential and others believe can be handled at a LAM level.
• The Threshing Meeting will be guided by Elders
• No decisions will be made but Notes will be taken
• A Children and Young People's Meeting will be provided at the same time
• There is no need to book, just turn up

Venue: Friends House
Thread of Life is a portrait of the twentieth century - its times of war and peace - seen through the lives of three generations of Jewish women. At its heart are Dora, a romantic and tragic figure, a concert pianist born in Riga, who lived in St Petersburg and was killed in the Riga Holocaust; her daughter, Genia, born in 1915 in St Petersburg, who lived in many places around the world before dying in England at the age of 102; and, in their different threads and versions of the truth, their legacy to author Jennifer Kavanagh, who shares her moments of discovery while addressing themes of Russia, Jewishness, motherhood, music, home, and language, as well as the vagaries of memory.
