Talk on the Early Quaker Message (Jan 11)

This talk given by Charles Lamb at the Cork Meeting House at 12.30 pm on Sunday 11th January will consider the seeking of George Fox and Elizabeth Hooton in the 1640s, the early message of Friends/Quakers, its roots, fruits and testimonies, including the Peace Testimony.

It will be possible to listen to Charles’ talk online, using the usual Zoom link for Cork Meeting for Worship.  If you’d like to attend the talk online and don’t have the link, please email corkmonthlymeeting@gmail.com and it will be sent to you. If you do join online, please plan on connecting with the Zoom link about 5 minutes early, so there will be time to resolve any Zoom problems before the talk starts.

New Worship Group in the Northwest of Ireland – starting January 11

A new Quaker Worship Group is being formed in County Leitrim – a county where there has never before been a Friends’ meeting. Participants at the first meeting came from Donegal, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Sligo and Belfast.

Future meetings of the North West Worship Group are planned for 3:00pm on the second Sunday of the month at Kinlough Community Centre, Co. Leitrim F91 T802.  The next meeting will take place on Sunday Jan. 11, and every second Sunday thereafter.

You can contact Rachel Cave (rrc@iol.ie) for more information.

Once this Worship Group is a bit more firmly established, it will be added to the “Find a Meeting” section of this website.
