In your Quaker community, who is central and who is excluded? If you were all living together, who would be one of the family or just a guest – or not even there? In this course we explore issues of hospitality and how to discover what’s really going on.
Who has power in a Quaker community? By using the image of a household, and other metaphors, we will explore honestly and playfully the dynamics of our communities: what does it feel like to be included or excluded, what are the ways in which this happens, and how can we be hospitable to what is really happening?
This course builds on existing work by Rhiannon Grant and Windy Cooler.
