Meeting of Friends in Wales – 27 October - preview
Anyone driving into the rural mid-Wales town of Brecon from Abergavenny at the end of October was confronted by a bold sign – 'Quakers' This confident signage, directing people over the Brecon canal to the Meeting of Friends in Wales, was reflected in the meeting itself by a feeling of excitement and new possibilities Quakers in Wales have found their voice and our 521 members and attenders are producing wide-reaching ripples
Friends shared stories of events during Outreach Week These ranged from banners from bridges in Swansea, advertising Quaker Quest sessions; to the opening of the new Nantucket Centre in Milford Haven by the presiding officer of the Welsh Assembly; to a visit by thirty sixteen year old students, who were studying Marion Eames' novel Yr Ystafell Ddirgel (The Secret Room) in Porthmadog Two Friends had been interviewed on Roy Jenkins' programme All Things Considered on Radio Wales Through exhibitions and open events Quakers had reached out to their local communities, but also found that this experience was an important source of in-reach, strengthening and enriching the life of local meetings
