Online courses at Woodbrooke July – December 2020

By /
As you may already know, the Quaker study centre at Woodbrooke has moved learning online for the remainder of 2020. Woodbrooke’s online courses have the same breadth of coverage as their residential courses but are provided instead through webinars, Zoom meetings, videos, discussion forums, and written material. The courses available are listed on the Woodbrooke website at https://bit.ly/3hiRHeT, where you can see when and how each course will run, and whether there is an attendance fee. 
To give a feel for the range of opportunities available, I have divided the current courses into six broad areas related to being Quaker, theology, history, spiritual practices, engagement with the wider world, and training for specific roles:

New courses are added by Woodbrooke quite often – keep an eye on the listings page or register for the Woodbooke newsletter to stay up to date. In addition, this year’s Swarthmore lecture will be broadcast online in August, as outlined below.

Remember that financial support is available from both Woodbrooke and locally. Redland Meeting will pay half of the cost of one course (whether fixed or Pay as Led) each year for all members and attenders, and the full cost of any training for specific roles. Contact the treasurer, Kit Fotheringham for further information.

As well as Woodbrooke, Britain Yearly Meeting also offers courses occasionally, such as the QPSW Summer Series: Where our witness is (https://bit.ly/32zKdjd). Sign up to the Quake newsletter to hear of new courses as they appear.
