Quaker Wall Hanging

If all of the preparations are finalised the Bath Quaker Meeting will begin worshipping at Central United Reformed Church in the autumn. I was asked by the Clerk of the Meeting to come to their current Meeting House to view a wall hanging that they wish to bring with them. They wanted to insure that it would meet with our congregations approval.

I found it quite interesting as it was a representation of Jesus' visit to the home of Mary and Martha. If you aren't familiar with the story, Mary sits and listens to the teachings of Jesus whilst Martha hurries about in the kitchen preparing a meal.

The similarities to Jesus and the Buddha sitting under the Bodhi tree are striking.
