Local Quakers travel
to regional gathering
Janet and Jim Papple of Sea -
forth, Tony McQuail of Lucknow,
and Carol and Brent Bowyer of
Morris-Turnberry recently trav-
eled
raveled to a day -long gathering of
Quakers at Coldstream Meeting
House, west of London.
The Huron County Quaker wor-
ship group has been meeting for
worship, study, and action projects
in the community for the past 20
years.
• The morning session at Cold-
stream was an opportunity for
those present to network with
other Quakers from southern On-
tario, conduct the business of the
group, and meet for silent worship
with opportunities for reflection
and speaking from the heart in a
tradition that Quakers have devel-
oped in the past 350 years.
An afternoon session focused on a
new program called Quaker Quest.
This program, led by presenters
from Kitchener. and Philadelphia,
gave thosepresent a chance to
consider questions that visitors
to a Quaker worship group might
typically ask, such as, "What do
you believe?" and "Do you have to
be a pacifist to be a Quaker?"
All of the group found the oppor-
tunity to develop clear, 'thoughtful,

and concise responses through
role-playing to be very help-
ful. Quakers, formally
known as "The Religious Socie4
of Friends", began under the lead-
ership of George Fox in the mid
17th century in England at a time
of civil war and religious unrest.
It was a time when many seek-
ers within the Christian church
were looking for more meaningful
ways to worship and consistently
live out their beliefs.
Some of the core Quaker testi-
monies are simplicity, equality,
continuing revelation beyond the
first century, something of God in
everyone, and the necessity for
peace . and non-violence.
• Quakers have long been known
for their early recognition of the
equality of women with men and
abolition of slavery.
Quakers are also known for
peace -making and mediation with
aboriginal groups in Canada and
between warring factions in other
countries and their efforts to re-
form and make our jails more hu-
mane.
The Canadian Friends Service
Committee is the arm of Canadian
Quakerism that helps to imple-
ment these goals.
The local Quaker group has been
involved in initiatives such as
peace vigils opposing the wars
in Iraq,and supporting other
Huron County church initia-
tives such as the recent "Me to
We" youth event in Blyth.
The group's plans for the
current year include co -spon-
soring with the Blyth United
Church an educationalevening
regarding "peak oil" and the Cu-
ban response, and involvement.
in the next Habitat for Human-
ity building project in Huron
County.
