Friends Meeting House Fund has been helping Quaker meetings across the US and Canada renovate, update, and make their meeting houses environmentally friendly.

As we await the first crisp hints of fall, it’s delightful to anticipate the good books we’ll curl up with as the days get colder.

When we’re doing it faithfully, what are the qualities of Quaker social action? Spirit-filled, hopeful, compassionate, clear, loving, patient, connected.

With our shiny website makeover, and new bookstore manager, QuakerBooks is invigorated for the end of summer and prepared for the start of fall.

FGC is pleased to welcome Samantha Wilson as Manager of QuakerBooks of FGC.

Almost 1,000 Friends from the United States, Canada, and around the world came to the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota July 3-8 for the 2016 FGC Gathering.

YouTube video of Thursday night plenary with speaker Dr. Nekima Levy-Pounds:

The transformational potential of Quaker faith and practice is offered to us, but it is not
guaranteed.

The Gathering gives us an
opportunity to be in fellowship around so much that is beautiful and nourishing as well as
around difficult truths with which we must wrestle if we are to grow spiritually and become the
beloved community.
