Quick Quakerism
Quick Quakerism is to be a one day intensive workshop presenting the basic facts of Quakerism to those new to the Religious Society of Friends. It is informational, not experiential. We hope it will fill a need for serious attenders and new members, as well as Friends school families, and those of other intuitions under the care of Friends. It is taught by a team of two instructors starting at 9:00am with introductions over coffee or tea and bagels (available at 8:30). Lunch is provided, and it is concluded by 4:30pm. There are five sessions separated by 15 minute breaks (or an hour lunch after session two).
8:30 - 9:00 Check in (register) and get coffee or tea.
9:00 9:30 Go around to share names and introductions.
