Quaker Quest

14/04/22 11:25 Filed in: SBQM Update | Testimonies

Are you interested in further exploring the Quaker way? Whether you are new to Quakerism, interested in Quakerism, or have been involved for many years, Quaker Quest, a relaxed but structured approach, developed by Britain Yearly Meeting, has proved to be a rich and rewarding experience.

We feel this is a good time to use this method, as we emerge form the strictures of recent years into the current global climate, and are offering a series of four evening discussions - from 7pm to 9.15pm- at South Belfast Quaker Meeting. You can also join via Zoom ( Kerry please put link for all sessions here) Please feel free to come to as many of the sessions as you want.

Together we will look at how we Quakers experience key issues,, and how we try to live out our faith.
Our themes will be:-
24 April - God/ Faith
4 May - Worship
11 May - Integrity
18 May - Equality/ Diversity
Each evening three speakers will briefly outline how they see things, before we all explore our thoughts and feelings and worship together.

SOUTH BELFAST QUAKERS

Quakers (or the Religious Society of Friends as they are also known), have held Meetings for Worship in Ireland since 1654. After a previous failed attempt to establish a lasting Belfast Meeting around 1665, the first permanent Belfast Quaker Meeting was established in 1799, and in 1810 it moved to Brewery Lane, now known as Frederick Street. It wasn’t until 1956 that a second Meeting was approved for Friends who lived in Belfast, this time based in the south of the city. South Belfast Meeting House is an active Meeting with approximately 45 adult members and attenders who worship together each Sunday. Children & Young People also play a large part in our meeting, and we have on average 22, 1-18 year olds joining us for the last 10 mins of our worship, after their own activities.

Meeting for Worship takes place at 10.45am each Sunday at our meeting house ( see address and directions on the contact page )
