Reclaiming our Quaker Voice

Unprogrammed Friends are often unsure about how best to answer questions about what it is to be a Quaker or what Quakers believe. We hedge our responses or list a series of negatives about what we don’t do, or answer in terms of values. This talk will highlight the challenges of these approaches and offer a positive assertive alternative that will help us reclaim an authentic Quaker voice.

‘Ben’ Pink Dandelion has worked for Woodbrooke for over thirty years and directs the work of the Centre for Research in Quaker Studies. He is Professor of Quaker Studies at the University of Birmingham and has written widely on Quakerism, spirituality and religion, both academically and devotionally. He wordships with Clitheroe Friends near Pendle Hill in the north of England.
