What Happens When We Worship Online?
3 - 24 July 2025
Meeting together for worship is at the heart of Quaker life, but the increase in online worship has created new opportunities and raised questions about the future of this treasured practice. What does it mean for our spirituality and our communities?

This course will help deepen your understanding and experience of meeting for worship, whether you worship online or in person. We hope it will also foster mutual understanding between those who primarily attend meeting for worship in person and those who mainly worship with other Friends online.
Elders and others with responsibility for the quality of worship may also find it helpful for exploring the significance of online and 'blended' worship in your community.
The live Zoom sessions are every Thursday at 19:00-20:30 (UK time)
