History of Quakers in NZ
Event type
Quaker Settlement Weekends
Whose shoulders are we standing on?
A weekend of sharing information and stories about how we’ve got to who and where we
are today.
• Who were some of the earliest Friends to meet together for worship?
• Who were some of our spiritual ancestors?
• When did we become Yearly Meeting of Aotearoa?
• When and why did we write our statements on Peace and Biculturalism?
…and other topics
We’ll co-create, with stories, timelines of events and people that we remember or are
recorded in annual Meeting Minutes, Testimonies to the Grace of God in Friends’
lives, and remind ourselves of our work in education, peace action and social justice.
