Description of Activity
Invite youth to sit in a circle. Answer questions from the last workshop. Then, light the chalice with these words:
We light this chalice in celebration of Unitarian Universalism and the sustaining faiths of all people of the world. May the flame represent the fire of our commitment to understand all faithful people and build bridges that connect us as one human family.
Invite participants to check in by saying their names and briefly sharing something they know or have heard about Quakers. Ask what questions they have about Quakers. Write the questions on newsprint. Tell the youth their questions may be answered in this workshop. Commit to research remaining questions and bring answers to the next workshop.
Read or share, in your own words, the information in Leader Resource 4, Quaker Background. Use the newsprint to list important terms from the resource.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
