Quakers in Kingston and Richmond will be joined by speakers from the Anglican Church and the Humanist movement, to lead a public discussion titled “A Dialogue on Beliefs and Values”.

The panel discussion will aim to explore what makes life meaningful. It takes place at Kingston Quaker Centre on Thursday December 1st at 6.30pm.

Each participant on the panel will be asked to address the question: “Why I am a….” as a way to introduce their chosen faith, its values and beliefs. Panellists will also be answering questions from the audience.

The panel will comprise:

• Richmond Quaker Mary Aiston. Mary grew up in a Quaker family, chose to join in her own right in her mid 20s and has been an active Quaker ever since.
• The Revd. Joe Moffatt of All Saints Church, Kingston. Joe has been an Anglican vicar for 23 years, working in Wolverhampton, Chelsea and Teddington before moving to Kingston earlier this year.
• Jon Fayle of Humanists UK. Jon has been a social worker for most of his professional life, most recently with children in care. About 15 years ago he came to the conclusion that humanism provided the basis for thinking about morality and living a good life with which he felt most comfortable.

The event is open to the public, and has been organised as part of a series of events Quakers in South West London are holding to raise awareness of their activities.

Entry is free.
