Quaker Quest.....a spiritual path for our time: simple, radical, contemporary
A Taste of Quaker Quest Workshop, Swarthmore Friends Meeting Saturday, April 10, 2010 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. With Amy Kietzman and PYM Quaker Quest Trainers Mark you calendars! This day will include an innovative Quaker Quest Children’s program, not just childcare--Melinda Wenner Bradley, from Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, teaches Faith and Play workshops, and she will be creating a morning program for our young people. Along with the PYM Quaker Quest facilitators and exercises, three Swarthmore members will be sharing their spiritual beliefs: Shelley Costa, a parent of young children, will talk about simplicity and family. Michael Malone will also talk about simplicity. From 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. there will be an intergeneration Faith and Play session, so the Meeting can have a better idea of the program, and what gifts our youth offer. We will explore, together, what seekers are looking for, what the Quaker way has to offer, and experience what a public Quaker Quest session might be like. We will also share about practical aspects, such as promotion and funding, as well as focus on spiritual hospitality. It will be a full day of varied and inspiring exercises, a chance to get to know each other better and grow together. On Saturday, April 10 we need help in the following ways:
