For our Tuesday night Evening Program, Friends from across the continent and beyond will gather in online groups around shared topics of interest. Let’s gather around issues such as family life, religious education for children and teens, climate disruption, social activism, and immigration. We’ll listen, share, learn, and build deeper connections.
Niyonu Spann is a member of Chester Monthly Meeting in Pennsylvania. She has a rich history of making music and creating workshops around peace and social justice. Together with some of her back-up vocalists, Niyonu will lead an intergenerational plenary grounded in spirit.
An old Quaker expression says, “We believe that those who are called enemies are, in fact, friends separated by misunderstanding.” Clinton Pettus has been devoted to working for education and social justice for people of color. Drawing on his lived experiences, Clinton explores the intersection of racism, colorism, sexism, and classism as they contribute to oppression and discrimination. Several colleagues will then respond from various perspectives that test the Quaker expression on misunderstandings.
