"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 is an occasional series of independent meetings held at Oxford Quaker Meeting House, each spaced one week apart. The sessions are especially for the benefit of those wishing to learn about Quakerism. Each typically 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.
The most recent Quaker Quest ran on Monday nights at 6:45 for 7 p.m., finishing at 9 p.m.:
- Monday 16 February 2009: Quakers and Silence
- Monday 23 February: Quakers and Peace
- Monday 2 March: Quakers, God, and Christianity
- Monday 9 March: Quaker Faith in Action
The programme was then repeated, with minor variations, from 16 March to 6 April 2009.
At present, we have no plans for the next Quaker Quest in Oxford. You may contact us with questions about similar events, or visit the main Quaker Quest web site (for example, Quaker Quest runs throughout the year in London).
