The Start of the Quaker Way

Join us from 25 January to 8 February 2024 to explore the Start of the Quaker Way.
Book your place here: www.woodbrooke.org.uk/courses...
Explore the beginnings of the Quaker movement and how the summer of 1652 proved pivotal for the start of the Quaker movement. Each week will take you step by step through some of the key figures and texts to better understand the foundation of Quakerism.
We visit, virtually, the key sites of the Quaker consolidation in the North West of England and explore the importance of the north to Quaker success.
The course is based around a series of films and discussion topics with the option of live discussion with the tutor each week. What you do when within the three weeks is up to you.
This course coincides with the run-up to the FWCC world plenary gathering in 2024 and will be an excellent preparation for Friends attending, whether in person or online.

Fabulous!

Another fascinating aspect of the early Quakers was that so many of the leadership were so young, many only in their 20s. If we can get the young 'SBNR' demographic of today to become perhaps an online modern equivalent to the 'valiant sixty', then Quakerism will be in good hands for the future.

What is the SNBR demographic?
I'm only familiar with the 'gen's and social grading used in business & media such as ABC1 & similar.

@@wkt2506 "Spiritual but not religious" (SBNR), also known as "spiritual but not affiliated" (SBNA), or less commonly "more spiritual than religious" is a popular phrase and initialism used to self-identify a life stance of spirituality that does not regard organized religion as the sole or most valuable means of furthering spiritual growth.
