The Meaning of Community: Exploring the 2025 Swarthmore Lecture
12 July 2025, Edinburgh
This in-person workshop, led by Emily Provance, builds on the themes of her 2025 Swarthmore Lecture. Throughout the day, Emily will guide participants in exploring the meaning of Quaker community and its central role in Quaker theology and spiritual life.
In her lecture, Emily examines the challenges of living and working within a community—especially when it is not one we have chosen. Drawing on books of discipline from across the theological spectrum and the global Quaker community, she offers a Quaker testimony of community. This workshop will continue that exploration, creating space for collective reflection and discussion.
