Quaker involvement brought to life - preview
David and Barbara Forbes report on a Parisian study weekend on Quaker history
Jeanne-Henriette Louis, the well-known French historian and Quaker, is co-founder with André Jacquesson and Pierre Lory of the study weekend held at the Quaker International Centre, Paris
