Help support a Young Adult Quaker Gathering at Jordans

Help to cover Youth Hostel fees and food for this Young Adult Quaker Gathering, making it possible for more people to attend.

Oxford Young Adult Quakers are organising a gathering for Young Adult Friends and seekers from across Britain and around the world to explore how we are transformed and gathered together by the Spirit. It will take place at Jordans Friends Meeting House & Centre, 21 – 25 August 2024.

We are pretty sure that our gathering won't look like the painting of "The Presence in the Midst" above (painted at Jordans over a century ago). However, we do want to explore what this could mean for us today. Is it just an old-fashioned image or does it have a connection to our lives? What would this experience of the living Christ in our midst, transforming and guiding us, be like today? What empowered earlier Friends to witness and suffer with such audacity, and how might we encounter that same source of hope and light?

This will be a time of renewal, worship, fun, exploration, and community-building for Young Adult Friends – and we need your help to make it happen! We are planning to make use of the youth hostel near Jordans, but need funding for that, as well as for meals and travel bursaries for Friends coming from further away. Please consider whether you can support us as we gather to see how the Spirit is moving among us today.
