Challenge to Friends

By Marty Grundy. “To what does the Religious Society of Friends witness today? I would like to see each monthly meeting, in a format that seems best to it, coming togeter in deep worship to seek divine guidance in discerning exactly what God is asking Friends to witness to in this day, in these times.”

To Friends Everywhere

Compiled by Barbara Hirshkowitz. Excerpts from yearly meeting epistles.

The Witness of Our Lost Twenty-Somethings

By Martin Kelley. “What is it like to be a thirty-something Friend these days? Lonely and frustrating. At least half of the committed, interesting and bold twenty-something Friends I knew ten years ago have left Quakerism.”

Blessed Are the Hungry: FGC Friends Today

By Michael Gibson. “Friends are hungry and for this we can be grateful, for hunger is a blessing. Without it we would not be motivated to fund sustenance for life and health.”
