William Heath writes:
Three representatives – one Elder, and two youth leaders – from the Amazonian Yawanawa tribe from Brazil spoke and sang with a small group in Bath Friends Meeting House on Tue 28 August. They were on their first international visit, speaking about their culture and faith and raising money for a school. They described their tribe’s first contact with white people, a period of suffering survival and then renewal, and their process of discernment and decision making.
The evening was organised by the anthropologist Maria Fernanda Gebara – not per se a Quaker event – and attended by Friends from Bath and Wincanton.
