poliphilo I've been glancing at a booklet in which "young Quakers" talk about their Quaker identity.
It was published in '98- which means all these youngsters (who were aged 18-30 at the time) will now be middle-aged.
Young Quakers do still exist. We had one visit the Meeting on Sunday. She was hugely popular. Everyone was thinking, "Please transfer your membership to us."
We're a fairly lively crowd (considering that none of us is under 60) but we have a short use-by date. If we're not replaced by younger specimens the Meeting will fade away.
I'm not opposed to things fading away- it's the natural order of things- but all the same...
