  • Filled with quotes, queries, and suggested activities, the Fit for Freedom Study Guide can be used in meetings, reading groups, or individually.

  • Quakers, African Americans and the Myth of Racial Justice
    by Donna McDaniel and Vanessa Julye

    The myth that all Quakers helped fugitive slaves and that all Quakers were civil rights activists does not tell the whole story. Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship lifts up the lives of Friends who were committed to ending enslavement and post-enslavement injustices, while showing how insidious, complex, and pervasive racism has been in the lives of all of us.

  • Stoking the Spiritual Fires of Quakerism
    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.

Friends General Conference, with Divine guidance, nurtures the spiritual vitality of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) by providing programs and services for Friends, meetings, and seekers.  read more
