In the last year CIRC brought FGC’s to the World Council of Churches (WCC) representing through work on the Council’s Central Committee, and in the visioning stage of an upcoming “Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace” event in conjunction with Mennonites, Church of the Brethren, and other peace churches representing at the WCC.

CIRC continued the invaluable work of ensuring FGCs presence and representation at the Parliament of World Religion where along with local Quakers and other FGC Central Committee members CIRC held a presentation of Quaker Worship, inviting attenders at the Parliament to experience the waiting silence for themselves. CIRC continues their work, bringing the perspectives of Quaker experience and representation of the body of FGC to interfaith and ecumenical events in 2016.
