Lena, a Friend from EMES, shares their WQD sign!

''The theme for World Quaker Day is ‘What does it mean to be a Quaker today? Living a Faithful Life in a Changing World’. For me this takes me back to Fox’s great question and to others, we are familiar with: What canst thou say? How will our lives speak? What is the service that is ours to undertake? What does love require of us? – always accepting that this may not be great busyness?''

Greetings from Bad Pyrmont, Germany. On Friday, a few Friends gathered at the Quaker House (the only one in Germany) for a committee weekend. Six Friends started the WQD Sunday with a meeting for worship at sunrise and thought about our personal connections worldwide. How nice it is to have friends all over the world and to know some of them! Wonderful memories came back. For breakfast, we had freshly baked rolls and afterward we went to a jazz session in town.

How wonderful life can be!


Oslo Meeting for Worship was both on Zoom and physically in the city centre. Good to be able to meet people from the whole country, but also bit challenging!
