It's not a mystery to young Friends
All this talk of mystery worshippers (Eye, 14 March) briefly distracted Jez, our production editor, from his travails. He tells Eye that three years ago when he was an editor of Young Quaker, he started reviewing Meetings for Worship in that magazine. 'I started with Earls Colne', he explains, 'as it is near where I grew up. Young Quaker readers soon wrote in with their own reviews and the column still continues to this day.'
Eye hears that young Friends consider issues such as accessibility, numbers of young people and refreshments, as well as important non-material matters such as length and subject of ministry.
After a Young Friends General Meeting planning weekend at Colchester in January, Jez waited anxiously to see what his fellow young Friends would make of his home Meeting. He was relieved recently to see a positive review appear in Young Quaker.
