This weekend a group of us are going on the Bradford Faith Trail. It's an interesting opportunity to meet people from other faith traditions and to visit buildings we wouldn't ordinarily go into.

The Bradford Faith Trail offers guided tours of five religious sites on the first Saturday of each month from March to October.

Visiting Belgium? Did you know there's a Quaker meeting each Sunday morning at Quaker House, Square Ambiorix 50, B – 1000 in Brussels? They meet from 11-12 noon and there's a shared lunch to enjoy after MfW on the first Sunday of the month. You'll also find Quakers in Gent, Antwerp and Luxembourg, though they meet on a monthly basis, so you'll need to be a bit more organised to be in the right place at the right time.

For more details:

Quaker worship takes the form of a 'Meeting for Worship'. Here are details of our worship times and places in Brussels, Gent and Luxembourg.

Here's a little poem by William Blake for you:

Eternity

He who binds himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Iives in eternity's sunrise.

Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they needs must be present, that live and love in that which is omnipresent.
William Penn (1693)

I have never lost the enjoyment of sitting in silence at the beginning of a meeting, knowing that everything can happen, knowing the joy of utmost surprise, feeling that nothing is preordained, nothing is set, all is open. The light can come from all sides. The joy of experiencing the Light in a completely different way than one has thought it would come is one of the greatest gifts that Friends' meeting for worship has brought me.
