Details
- October 2, 2016, 3pm – 5pm
- Manning Memorial Chapel, Acadia University Campus, 45 Acadia St., Wolfville, NS
What’s Happening?
3PM — 4PM: Introduction to unprogrammed Meeting for Worship “in the manner of Friends“
4PM — 5PM: Tea, coffee and snacks; time for conversation and questions
Why Go?
Would you like to know more about how Quakers can have a service with no appointed minister? Or what it’s like to be part of a spiritual community that has a 350-year tradition of gender equality, is queer and trans positive, and works to end war, colonialism, and climate change?
Join us to talk about the role of spiritual community, and ask all those questions about religion you’ve never asked — or never gotten a satisfactory answer to. We may not have the answers, but we welcome inquiring spirits to ask those questions together.
Resource people will be available to speak on various topics of concern to Quakers, in keeping with our traditional testimonies:
- Simplicity
- Peace
- Integrity
- Community
- Equality
- Sustainability
You’re welcome to come for either part if you can’t stay for both. Bring snacks to share, or just bring yourself.
If transportation or childcare would be helpful, please contact us to make arrangements.
