–Quaker Pilgrimage to Ashgrove
Burial ground
This Burial
Groundat ‘Donhead St Mary in the County
of
Wilts’ is no longer in Friends’
ownership and in order to maintain a right of access a ‘pilgrimage’ is
held
every few years.
We are
planning two interleaved programmes, so that on
the second Wednesdays, starting with a half-hour Meeting for Worship,
the
meetings will be directed towards a sharing of spiritual experience
whereas the
fourth Wednesdays will be more traditional discussions based on “Quaker
questions”. The topics for all meetings will be related to specific
sections of
‘Advices and Queries’
Wednesday 9th June – 7.30pm – Meeting for Worship,
followed at 8pm by a reflection session
on ‘Making the Meeting into a
community’.
Wednesday 23rd June – 7.30pm – A Quaker Questions
discussion group on the theme ‘Quakers
and children in Meeting’.
-- Fridays 10.15 am Meeting for Worship, in

presentation 7.30: The Quaker
Testimonies
Winchester Friends are currently exploring the Quaker Testimonies,
of which John Punshon says: 'They are religious, ethical,
collective, demanding, developing - and vague'. It is our hope
that these evenings can bring a little less vagueness to the subject,
and a little more readiness to engage in what the Testimonies ask of
us: to live what we believe. Each presenter speaks from his
or her own experience.
- Wednesdays 12.30 to 13.00 Meeting for Worship,followed by lunch
(donation requested).
If lunch required – please advise. Contact Maria Kaeble (01962
