New to Friends? Want a refresher? Just curious? Read along among friends, and discuss and reflect on this short classic by Ben Pink Dandelion. Jim and Bob will lead the group through the book’s chapters using small group queries and worshipful exchange.
Copies of the book are available from Pendle Hill, Friends General Conference books, and many other retailers. It is also available as an Ebook from various providers.
Take note! Ben Pink Dandelion has also written a longer book called “An Introduction to Quakerism.” While this book is highly recommended for those who wish to read more, this online reading group will be based on Ben’s short book “The Quakers: A Very Short Introduction.”
All are welcome to join this online reading group. Please send any and all questions to nico@quakercenter.org.
