“The Quaker Lesbian and Gay Fellowship held a Gathering at Edgbaston Meeting House at the end of April in preparation for Yearly Meeting Gathering. Yearly Meeting will be responding to work done by Quaker Life in 2008 on the ‘recognition of partnerships under the auspices of Britain Yearly Meeting’”.

“The annual meeting of Quakers is to consider whether to request legal authority to register civil partnerships in the same way as marriages.
They will also consider whether to revise Quaker Faith and Practice, the book of Christian discipline of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Britain, to include equal treatment of marriage and other committed partnerships”.
