This year’s Yearly Meeting proper begins on 26 July, but Friends have already begun to gather online for a series of preparation sessions, scheduled over 5-10 July. Special interest groups and Quaker Recognised Bodies have also been running online events. Staff from the Friend will be getting to as many as possible, but if we missed yours please let us know and we’ll try to catch up another way. This week’s coverage takes us up to Sunday 7 July.
