Dear friends, Please take a look at the statement here from Friends House about a police raid last night here at Westminster Quaker Meeting House. Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House | Quakers in Britain <https://www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-events/news/quakers-condemn-police-raid-…> In time we will have to consider what guidance Meeting Houses might need for such events, but at the moment we are working together to consider how we respond to this incident as Quakers, as well as caring for our community of worshippers, hirers and visitors, seeking legal advice, and repairing the physical damage to our building. We ask you to hold everyone affected in the Light. with all my best, and in friendship, Lorna.
