Quakers strive with joy to welcome people of diverse spiritual journeys , beliefs and life experiences. How do we nurture each other’s growth, in the midst of great diversity? Such an ideal can be challenging. Our morning speaker will present current issues and remind us earlier times in Quaker history when increased diversity presented similar dilemmas.. . A panel will facilitate an audience discussion.
Following lunch we will divide into three workshops:
· Continuing discussion of mornings theme
· Nurturing our youth’s individual spirituality within the group setting (i.e., Quaker classroom management)
· Teaching history through story telling
After our workshops, we will gather in the large group to share highlights , and take part in a “mystery book game.”
The retreat will be held at Adelphi Friends Meeting, February 29th, 10am-3pm (refreshment and sign-in (9:30-10).
