Reflections
on the Papal Inauguration
Gretchen Castle
Under a clear
blue sky, surrounded by thousands of
us, Pope Francis’ pontificate was
inaugurated. I was a simple Quaker
enjoying the Celebration Mass amidst
a beautiful array of colourful
flowing robes and crowning mitres
and hoods in black, purple, red,
white lace and gold – layers of
fabric with layers of history and
meaning. I
was happy to be free of the ritual
as a Friend, and equally happy to be
sitting amongst my Christian
colleagues. >>> Read

Finding Quakers Around the World
2012 Map
 Membership
statistics are ever-changing and each
yearly meeting counts their numbers by
a different formula, but by our best
estimates, the number of Quakers in
the world has grown by almost 40,000
members, or about 12% since the last
published map in 2007.
Click here to
get the 2012 map Finding Quakers
Around the World. This map
contains membership numbers for Quaker
groups worldwide and shows their
locations. New to the 2012 map is the
inclusion of emerging yearly meetings
that are a result of Friends
missionary activity.

Flowing
from the World Conference
There are many
initiatives being undertaken around
the world to follow up the World
Conference which was held in
April 2012. This includes Let the Living
Waters Flow, an initiative by
the Section of the Americas to bring
the Conference home to local meetings,
a week long course, “Where is the
Light Leading Friends? Engaging with
Friends from around the World”, at
Silver Wattle Quaker Centre in
Australia, and other follow-up
gatherings and publications in various
parts of the world.
If you are involved in
any activity related to the
Conference, please
let
us
know, and we will highlight it
here or on the Conference website.
