About the Gathering

About 1500 Quakers (mostly from the unprogrammed, liberal tradition) spend a week together on a college campus at different sites around the US and occasionally Canada.  Attenders range from newborns to elders in their 90s.

The 2010 Gathering will be from July 4-10 at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The theme will be "Accepting Gifts of the Spirit". 

What is the Gathering?

In structure, it’s part conference and part family camp.  In content, it provides an abundance of opportunities to learn about Quakerism and to foster your spiritual life – and to have fun together.  Browse and learn about:
