“Finding the Quaker core: Are we ready to be relevant in the 21st century?”
Jay is a climate activist pushing the edges of civil disobedience in the climate movement. He travels in the ministry among Friends in New England and is a member of Sandwich Monthly Meeting.
The Ernest and Esther Weed Memorial Lecture is presented annually by the Beacon Hill Friends House. The lecture series was established in 1993 in honor of Ernest and Esther Weed, co-directors of the Friends House from 1960 to 1974. Each lecture features a prominent interpreter of Quakerism addressing a topic of importance to Friends in New England Yearly Meeting. See more information at the Facebook event, and below…
This presentation is part of the Friends House’s 2018 speaker series, Living Our Values, exploring what it means to truly live in alignment with the values we hold. The event is free and all are welcome. It will be held in the accessible Meeting Room on the ground floor of the Friends House, a 5-minute walk from the Park Street “T” station and from the Boston Common Parking Garage. Vouchers for discounted parking in the Garage ($9) will be available at the event. Childcare during the event will be available if a request is made in advance to events@bhfh.org. An informal reception will follow Jay’s lecture.
