Worship
Opportunities for worship permeate the Gathering: indoors and outdoors, in large groups and small.
2012 Gathering of Friends
What is the FGC Gathering?
About 1400 Quakers (mostly from the unprogrammed, liberal tradition) spend a week together on a college campus at different sites around the US and occasionally Canada. Attenders range from newborns to elders in their 90s.
In structure, it’s part conference and part family camp. In content, it provides an abundance of opportunities to learn about Quakerism and to foster your spiritual life – and to have fun together. Browse and learn about:
- Weeklong, intimate workshops
- Fantastic programming for kids and teens
- Inspirational evening programs
- A supplemental program for young adults
- And more …
