Weaving Sacred Wholeness

Limited funds left over from the 2008 YAF conference are available to assist young adult Friends to attend the intergenerational Weaving Sacred Wholeness conference! This conference builds on the 2008 YAF conference’s focus on theological diversity by grappling with the challenges and opportunities presented by the many other forms of diversity among Quakers.

The Scholarship

Funding will be based on demonstrated need and funds available. Friends who receive scholarship money will be expected to share their experience of the conference with their local or national YAF communities and report back to the Youth Ministries Committee on that interaction or event. We are open to creative ways of bringing the conversation to YAFs, but some ideas we have are

• Arranging a workshop or potluck to talk about issues of diversity in your local community
• Writing a blog entry for Quakeryouth.org or an article to Friends Journal
• Organizing a local gathering to discuss how the many different forms of diversity impact the growing movement of young adult Friends.
