Dear Friend,

Fall is a time of renewal and transformation, and our November issue of Vital Friends features articles and resources that we hope will encourage reflection on those themes. We are entering a time of transformation at FGC, as our governing body moves forward on measures that will make our mission more accessible to Friends, Newcomers, and Seekers around the United States and Canada. We will share an in-depth look at these measures, which were discerned during our recent Central Committee annual sessions, in a special edition of Vital Friends later this month.

In the Spirit,
