Gloucestershire Quakers
Welcome
to the website of Gloucestershire Quakers: a resource for local Quakers
and a signpost for anyone interested in finding out more about Quaker
life.
Our aims are two: to enable Quakers to keep in touch with each other across
the county, and to provide information about our activities for others.
Gloucestershire
Area Meeting is an umbrella which covers eight Local Meetings.
It is a constituent part of Britain Yearly Meeting. To care for the spiritual
and pastoral life of our meetings, we have elders and overseers. Every
three years the Area Meeting appoints elders and overseers for each Local
Meeting who in turn appoint their own clerks and committees.
INFORMATION
ABOUT QUAKERS
For more information about Quaker faith and practice and a comprehensive
and frequently updated picture of Quaker work, feel free to visit the
Britain
Yearly Meeting website
