George Fox 400 in Disley

This weekend (31st August 2024) Disley Meeting joined the 2024 celebrations for the founder of Quakers, George Fox, who was born 400 years ago. We marked the anniversary with an Open Day at the meeting house on Saturday, with an exhibition and a video about the life of George Fox. There were 11 visitors whom Disley Quakers had not met before and some interesting conversations with them were shared. On Sunday there was an all-age worship, inviting children and adults to think about the radical questions which prompted George Fox to discover a new, experiential way of worshiping. The George Fox cake (above), made by Lizzy Sumner, was "scoffed entirely"!!
