Event Details
In this course we will explore the life and writings of the Mother of Quakerism, Margaret Fell using short talks, the reading of texts and group discussion, all within a safe and friendly atmosphere. Particular attention will be given to her contribution to the development of the early Quaker movement as a theologian, practical organiser, spiritual counsellor, political lobbyist, and advocate for women. In addition we will consider her letters to the Jewish communities in Amsterdam as an early example of Quaker interfaith engagement.
