The • Huron county Quaker worship group has been meeting for worship, study, and action projects in the community for the past 20 years. The morning ses- sion at Coldstream was an • opportunity for those present to network with other Quakers from southern Ontario, conduct. the business of the group, and meet for silent worship with opportunities for reflection and speaking from the heart in a tra- dition 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 pre- senters from Kitchener and Philadelphia, gave those present 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 opportunity to develop clear, •thoughtful, and concise responses through role-playing 'to be very helpful. • Quakers, formally known as "The Religious Society of Friends", began under the leader- ship of George Fox in the mid 17th century in England at a time of civil war and religious unrest.

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 reform and make our jails more humane. The Canadian Friends Service Committee is the arm of Canadian Quakerism that helps to implement 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 initiatives such as the recent "Me to We" youth event in Blyth. The group's plans for the current year include co- sponsoring with the Blyth United Church an educational evening regarding "peak oil" and the Cuban response, and involve- ment in the next Habitat for Humanity building project in Huron county.
