The Kindlers grew out of the lively and inspiring Quaker Quest workshops, designed for people interested in finding out about the Quaker faith. But having perhaps joined a local Quaker meeting, would new Quakers continue to find the vision and inspiration they experienced in the Quaker Quest events?
Around 15 years ago Alec Davison from North West London Area Meeting and a few others conceived and offered day workshops for Quakers, addressing their search for meaning and depth in Meeting for Worship, which have been running ever since. During the pandemic requests for workshops declined though some were given online.
Since 2022 local and area Meetings have once more requested workshops and the small team has begun to gather new members. In addition to running workshops, we continue to publish booklets on a wide range of topics.
The Kindlers are a Quaker Recognised Body, so operate with the blessing of Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM). However, we do not receive any funding from BYM. At Yearly Meeting Kindlers can usually be seen at the Groups Fair and offering short workshops. If you are attending BYM and want to know more about what we do, please come over and say hello.
