Friends World Committee on Consultation grew out of a world-wide conference of Quakers held in 1937. Ever since, FWCC has worked to connect Quakers in every region on every continent whether programmed or unprogrammed, orthodox or liberal.

FWCC, Section of the Americas Meeting

from Adrian

On March 23-26, I attended the Americas Section meeting of Friends World Committee on Consultation (FWCC) held at Haw River State Park, in Greensboro, NC. I was there as a representative from SAYMA along with several other SAYMA Friends....

As I drove to Greensboro, I connected with other Friends that I haven’t physically seen in many years... I was also able stop in Cherokee ,NC, to work on my own family history and connect with Friends in Greensboro, NC and Greenville, SC.
