Friends General Conference sponsored an interdisciplinary initiative called “God is Within Her: Quakers Experience The Color Purple.” As part of this initiative, FGC welcomed Margaret Avery, the original Shug Avery from the 1985 film version of Alice Walker’s novel. In this talk with FGC staff member and theologian nova george, Ms. Avery discusses her life, her work, and her relationship with God and religion.
Rashid Darden offers vocal ministry inspired by FGC’s interdisciplinary initiative God Is Within Her: Quakers Experience The Color Purple.
