"Live adventurously! True faith doesn't turn people away from the world but encourages us all to live better lives within it, enthusiastic to mend it."
Quaker Quest runs throughout throughout the year in London and elsewhere. In Oxford, it has occurred in 2007, 2009, and in 2011. At present, we have no plans for the next Quaker Quest in Oxford. You may contact us with questions about similar events.
Quaker Quest is a series of independent meetings, each spaced one week apart. The sessions are especially for the benefit of those wishing to learn about Quakerism. Each includes talks by three guest speakers, discussion in small groups, and thirty minutes of Quaker worship based on silent waiting. All are welcome to attend at no cost and with no requirement to book ahead.
In Oxford, Quaker Quest most recently ran on Monday nights at 6:45 for 7 p.m., finishing at 9 p.m.:
- Monday 10 October 2011: Quakers and Silence
- Monday 17 October: Quakers and Peace
- Monday 24 October: Quakers, God, and Christianity
- Monday 31 October: Quaker Faith in Action
The programme was then repeated, with minor variations, from 7 November to 28 November. Flyers for the events were available in yellow or white (please allow a few seconds to load).
