Meeting of Friends in Wales – next meeting is in
Milford Haven Friends Meeting House
on
Saturday 22nd June 2019
(There has been a change to the listed speaker – We now welcome Jane Harries at our June Meeting. Aled Eurig will, instead, be speaking at our October meeting)
JANE HARRIES will be exploring the lecture material given at the Cardiff Eisteddfod:
A oes Heddwch? – Peacemakers in Wales: past, present and future
What does Wales’ peace heritage tell us about the place Wales is or aspires to be? What are the challenges that face peacemakers in Wales today? And what of the future? Are there signs of hope? What do young people today feel strongly about? This talk will aim to take stock of the challenges and opportunities for peacemakers in Wales today – now and looking to the future. What – as Quakers in Wales – can we do for peace?
A oes Heddwch? – Heddychwyr yng Nghymru: yn y gorffennol, y presennol a’r dyfodol
Beth mae treftadaeth heddwch Cymru yn ei ddweud wrthym am hunaniaeth a dyheadau Cymru fel gwlad? Pa heriau sydd yn wynebu heddychwyr yng Nghymru heddiw? A beth am y dyfodol? A oes arwyddion o obaith? Beth mae pobl ifanc heddiw yn teimlo’n gryf amdani? Bwriad y sgwrs hon yw pwyso a mesur yr heriau a’r cyfleoedd sydd yn wynebu heddychwyr heddiw – nawr ac i’r dyfodol. Beth fedrwn ni – Crynwyr yng Nghymru – ei wneud dros heddwch?
For those interested in exploring local accomodation options camping at Green Apple is one recommendation.
later in the year…
We will meet in NEWTOWN on 26th October 2019
Our main speaker, Aled Eurig, will talk on Religious opposition to the Great War in Wales.
Following on from our interesting workshop in February here are some reflections on Christines workshop:
If you are new to Quakers and would be interested in attending a meeting please see our list of local meetings which meet, most commonly, on Sunday mornings.

“Friends, as individuals and as a community, we can talk about ministry as being what’s on one’s soul and not necessarily what’s on one’s mind, it has been described as ‘what God unexpectedly drops into your lap’. I’ve been really struck in this meeting, in this community, both by the examples of individual ministry and by specific examples talked about today, which will stick with me as an articulation of what being a Quaker can do to your work life. But there’s also corporate ministry. Here is a body which, I think, knows what it is to have a calling. I am grateful to have the time here with you.” ~ Paul Parker, Recording Clerk. Quakers in Britain. October 2016
