Friends General Conference

Thank you for reading, and we wish you a happy spring!

FGC brought together 65 Friends “to help make the full depth, joy, and fire of Quaker faith and practice highly available, teachable, and experiential for all those who are or will become part of our faith communities.” 

FGC is again sponsoring a Quaker group to attend the conference, open to Friends of all traditions.

For their second series of Quaker Quest public sessions, Greensboro First Friends Meeting offers a unique program for those curious about Quakers and those already on the Quaker path.

Thank you for reading, thank you for participating, and happy holidays!

Barry Crossno outlines the case for a comprehensive religious education and spiritual formation program for newcomers and Friends.

The Chestnut Hill meeting house is the first new Quaker meeting house built in Philadelphia in the past eighty years. 

As one Friend said: “There is a deep and powerful stream flowing here, and we are invited to plunge in.”

This year’s Gathering explored ambitious questions about growth and reconciliation in the Light.

Intermountain Yearly Meeting affiliated with FGC in 2009, and this year hosted its first Gathering in beautiful Greeley, Colorado, June 30 through July 6. 

The Quaker Voluntary Service has opened a new branch in Philadelphia this year, and FGC will be hosting Maire Elizabeth Moriarty to work with our Ministry on Racism.

Our Annual Report, Spiritual Vision, Faithful Service, A Plan for Action highlights some of our accomplishments this past year.
