FGC recommends the following tip for newcomers to the Quaker faith: Attend an event at Pendle Hill or Ben Lomond Quaker Center.

Pendle Hill is a Quaker study, retreat, and conference center welcoming all for Spirit-led learning and community, located outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Ben Lomond Quaker Center near Santa Cruz, California, offers a place of retreat and contemplation, of renewal and growth, for individuals, families, Friends meetings and other organizations or groups who unite with the Quaker principles of simplicity, justice, peace and respect for “that of God” in every person.

Both centers offer in-person and online workshops and events, hospitality for guests, and beautiful natural environments.
