Strengthening Quaker community and process through the Quaker Cloud
As more individuals turn to the world wide web to find new congregations (including Quaker meetings!) and pursue new spiritual paths, interest has grown in the potential of FGC’s Quaker Cloud service. Since its humble beginnings in 2013, the Quaker Cloud has become an important tool for supporting Quaker community and process in North America.
As more individuals turn to the world wide web to find new congregations (including Quaker meetings!) and pursue new spiritual paths, interest has grown in the potential of FGC’s Quaker Cloud service. Since its humble beginnings in 2013, the Quaker Cloud has become an important tool for supporting Quaker community and process in North America. There are currently 120 Quaker meetings using FGC’s web toolkit to promote their meeting online and keep track of their membership directory and meeting minutes.
And that number is growing.
The increasing adoption of the Quaker Cloud among Quaker meetings can be attributed to its easy-to-use features and the knowledgable support provided by the Cloud team, comprised of Web Manager Chris Pifer and Communications & Cloud Support Associate Erin Mullaney. The Cloud helps Quaker meetings develop their online presence through an aesthetically-appealing website as well as a membership directory accessible only to the members of the meeting and a minute manager capable of archiving over one hundred years’ worth of meeting minutes.
Since the meeting website template is designed with search engine optimization (SEO) in mind, seekers and newcomers will see local results for meetings on the Quaker Cloud first on Google and other web search engines.
New improvements to the Quaker Cloud are currently in development, and the Cloud team is eager to branch out to additional Quaker meetings in the United States and Canada as well as Quaker communities around the world.
