Helping Children to develop spiritually… a joyful challenge. - preview
Under the excellent and expert guidance of Mary Stone, a dozen Friends met at Woodbrooke to explore this theme It was good for us to have this time together and have this rare time of refection on how and why we do this work
We came from a range of meetings Some are blessed with many children some with few I use the word blessed deliberately Children in our Meeting are not only the future but also our present Seeing the large children and young people arrive to present their Epistles at BYM in York was a vivid reminder of this JYM, Senior Conference and other summer gatherings for our Young People is an enriching experience for all involved However, we must not forget that on a weekly basis as whole Meeting our children and young people are part of our spiritual life It is not only the experiences in Children's Meeting that count A really early memory for me is sitting next to my Father in Meeting for Worship and being aware that the silence was special It felt different from other silence I was use to as an only child It was deep, warm mysterious yet meaningful
Sarah Piercy, Luton and Leighton MM
