Dates of Racial Justice Reading Group

Invitation from Disley LM to all Friends in ECAM to join us in a Book Group to discuss on Zoom Helen Minnis’ 2022 Swarthmore Lecture ‘Perceiving the Temperature of the Water – Quakers speak about Racism’.

Dear Friends,

At Yearly Meeting 2022 we resolved to work towards becoming an anti-racist faith community – quite a challenge.  This is just one contribution to helping us to think about how we can do that. 

The group will run on 4 Wednesdays in 2024: Jan. 31st, Feb. 7th, 14th and 28tfrom  7:00-8.30pm on Zoom. We hope you will be able to commit to all 4 sessions but if you cannot, we would rather you came to some rather than none. The Zoom meeting ID is: 331 243 767.

 

‘Perceiving the Temperature of the Water – Quakers speak about Racism’ is a wonderful lecture. Click on the link so you can taste some of what the 2022 Yearly Meeting audience experienced in May 2022.

 

The expectation is that you will have also read the book which was published after the lecture. Copies are available from the Quaker Book Shop at Friends House for £10. Our experience is that it takes time for copies to be delivered so try to order as soon as possible.

 

Please let Ann Lewis know whether you would like to receive further detailed information about what we have planned in terms of format, etc by January 24th 2024.

 

We hope the group will be an opportunity to share all the ideas in Helen Minnis’ lecture.

In Friendship,

Ann Lewis, convenor.

On behalf of Karl Beswick, Bridget Dunbar, Paul Gee and Jan Vulliamy.
