London Quakers

Quakers from all over the British Isles came to Friends House on Saturday 7 May, to take part in the ninth London Quaker Dialogue, chaired by Beth Allen.

• What do we mean by ‘spirituality’? Do we think of it as a divine gift or a human attribute?

• Whether divine or human, how do we find the words to talk about it in an essentially secular society?

• However we choose to speak of spirituality, what does it mean in action and how does it play out in our everyday lives?
