THe Priests Tale

Venue: Wandsworth Quaker Meeting House, SW18 2PT,

A dedication to Peace has been central to Quakerism for centuries and we are delighted to be hosting a one-man play written and performed by our friend Michael Mears telling the story of a Hiroshima survivor, Protestant minister Father Wilhelm Kleinsorge,

The Priest’s Tale  is the riveting story of a miraculous suitcase, a daring escape and the devastation wreaked on a city in a single instant by a nuclear bomb, and a clear-eyed depiction of the pity of the war and of the terror wrought at the start of our nuclear age. It is based on a 31,000 word article by American journalise John Hershey in The New Yorker in 1946. An note to the article said it had been published 'in the conviction that few of us have yet comprehended the all but incredible destructive power of this weapon, and that everyone might well take time to consider the terrible implications of its use.’

Given the expiration of the nuclear arms control START treaty in 2026 and the moves by the major players to update and increase their nuclear arsenals this could hardly be more topical.

Quakers and philosophers

Venue: Wandsworth Quaker Meeting House SW18 2PT

Meeting for Learning after Meeting  for Worship

Andrew Jack of Wandsworth Meeting will be talking about Philosophers and Quakers. Locke, Leibniz, Voltaire and Hume all wrote about Quakers. Some of what they wrote is funny. And we can learn about historical Quakerism’s relationship with Christianity by reading them. This will not be an academic talk but an opportunity to see Quakerism through the eyes of these eminent thinkers.

Hope as a Practice

Venue: Friends House

 

What does it mean to ‘practise hope’? How do we maintain hope when things seem to be getting worse rather than better?

In this workshop, participants will be invited to take part in a range of activities to explore “active hope”, a transformative set of practices that help us to face our concerns about the world, find genuine grounds for hope and discern our unique contribution to the healing of our world. Drawing on ideas from the book Active Hope, by J. Macy and C. Johnstone, this workshop will also highlight how this approach resonates with Quaker faith and practice.

Our tutors from Woodbrooke Where You Are, Simonne Wood and Jacquie Cole, are both l Quakers with a rich variety of interests and substantial experience in a wide range of Quaker learning.

Quaker CYP invited for weekend of fun in Forest Hill

Venue: Forest Hill Meeting House

The London Link Committee would like to invite our London and beyond 11-18 year olds to a fun packed weekend in South London!

We start on Saturday morning at the Horniman Museum & Gardens – a special place which promises global artefacts, natural wonders – including a famous walrus, and even an Adolescent Wonderland exhibition. https://www.horniman.ac.uk

Bring a picnic to share – hopefully in the garden, in the sun!

Around 1pm we will make tracks to Forest Hill Meeting House for an afternoon of games and activities, biscuits, and chill out time together. Evening entertainment to be decided but we will end with an Epilogue to help prepare us for a night of camping on the Meeting House floor (don’t forget your sleeping bags and PJs).

After a leisurely Sunday breakfast we will join with Forest Hill meeting. We will then have a final meal together before heading off mid-afternoon – probably a bit tired but hopefully very happy.


For an idea of previous events - see here https://londonlinkgroup.org.uk/
