    This intergenerational conference will explore our diversity—in all of its forms—and ways we can use that diversity as our strength.

    Some of the conference goals include:

    • Sharing our stories and feeling we are heard.
    • Building our relationships so our ongoing conversations on diversity remain open and alive.
    • Retaining the vitality of our mystical tradition.


  • There is a spiritual fire spreading among Friends. A hunger for divine connection is growing in Friends General Conference and in many of the meetings that we serve.

    To stoke this spiritual fire, FGC has launched the $7.25 million Stoking the Spiritual Fire of Quakerism Campaign.

    The campaign, which runs from January 2007 until December 2010, has already raised more than $3 million.

    Visit the new spiritual fire website to learn more about the campaign and the programs it is making possible.


  • Quaker Press of FGC has just released a new pamphlet by Christina Van Regenmorter, Coming into Friendship as a Gift: the Journey of a Young Adult Friend. By naming the gifts she has received from her meetings, Christina Van Regenmorter offers a resource both for young adult Friends and for meetings striving to welcome, support and nurture the young people in their midst.
     
     

FGC nurtures Quakerism by nurturing individuals, meetings, and the Religious Society of Friends as a whole. We serve Friends year-round with a wide range of programs and services.   read more
