Download the Quaker Committee Handbook
This handbook is for anyone serving on any of the national committees that are responsible for the centrally managed work of Britain Yearly Meeting.
Quaker committees are places where all Friends have the exciting chance to shape, manage and evaluate aspects of Quaker work, and give Friends a chance to work with others, both fellow committee members and staff, who share our commitment to faith in action.
This handbook is a practical guide to central Quaker committee service, aimed at both committee members and staff supporting them. It focuses on committees that support the central work of Britain Yearly Meeting, and doesn't cover local or area meeting governance. For matters relating to local and area meeting governance, contact supportmeetings@quaker.org.uk.
Quaker faith & practice goes into much more detail about the spiritual aspects of committee service, as well as the structures in place. The handbook offers a full list of references.
