Quakerism 101 is:
A hybrid (those at the Meetinghouse utilize a camera and microphone to interact with those online) or on-line class that meets from September to May (skipping Dec) covering topics that are of interest to a person with any level of Quaker knowledge and experience and with any relationship with any branch of Quakerism. When hybrid, the Outreach/Inreach Committee hosts a snack table with vegetarian options (vegan available upon request) then moves into a discussion with an activity.
Quakerism 101 is every 3rd Thursday of Sept-May (skipping Dec).
These classes differ from Seeking Quakers by being an open discussion with an activity. It is less “specific question” and worship sharing based. RSVP or registration are not required.
