Quakers traditionally did not celebrate holidays because every day was regarded as a “holy day.” What value might there have been to this practice?
What might we gain or lose by following traditions like this?
What does it mean for us to celebrate?
What spiritual value and meaning do we find in our practices today?
Interested in learning more about Quakers? Interested in deepening your sense of Truth and the Inner Light with Friends? Join us online at 6:00pm on the 1st Wednesday of the month to explore a query (that’s Quakerspeak for an open-ended question) and related readings.
The query and readings will be posted on this event page and sent out via the NCFM email list.
It is open to anyone regardless of their relationship to Quakerism, level of experience, or relationship with any branch of Quakerism. All are welcome. No registration or RSVP required. Please join as led. Companionable listeners are welcome.
This month is:
