Online Options at the Gathering
Because hosting full, simultaneous online and in-person events places an unsustainable burden on staff and volunteers, the schedule of online events this year is limited. A fully online Gathering of Friends, with much more extensive program offerings, is in the works for 2025!
FGC also offers online events year-round through the Spiritual Deepening Program and the Ministry on Racism.
