QUAKERS are to hold a series of free weekly events to introduce themselves and their beliefs to the wide public.

Quaker Quest is being launched in Durham City on Thursday, October 8 and continues on the following three consecutive Thursdays.

Each week in Alington House, North Bailey, three guests will talk briefly about different aspects of Quakerism and there will also be time for questions and discussion.

Refreshments will be served from 6.30pm and the main session will run from 7pm to 9pm. For further details, please ring 0191-384 7178.
