Sean Bye is the FLGBTQC (Friends for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans and Queer Concerns) Liaison for the Gathering High School Program.

Did you know you can support young people to attend Gathering by serving as their sponsor?

This year, we want to encourage invitations to this year’s week of worship, workshops, and community through the new FGC Gathering 2020 Toolkit.

In the special January/February 2020 double issue of Vital Friends, we examine how Quaker spirituality nurtures activism.

FGC’s Institutional Assessment Implementation Committee is approaching our work with a commitment to pay attention to the implication of intersectionality.

Each month, FGC distributes two monthly digital newsletters to share updates and information about FGC and QuakerBooks – Vital Friends and Book Musings.

In this month’s Gathering Profile, we highlight Aurelio Anderson, one of our High School program’s dedicated staff.

Since its inception, FGC’s Youth Programs have been influential in the lives of Quakers of all ages. This is especially true of Marijke van Roojen and her family.

Members of FGC’s Central Committee met to share reports of our organization’s accomplishments over the past 12 months.

The Gathering team and Gathering 2020 committee members have been hard at work and we are excited to reveal the fruits of their efforts here!

Regina Renee Ward describes how the experiences of the 2013, 2016, and 2019 FGC Gathering have shaped her understanding of Quaker community.

FGC’s General Secretary Barry Crossno and Quaker author J. Brent Bill have collaborated on a new Pendle Hill pamphlet that examines the spiritual process of vocal ministry.
