Event “The Future of Quakers” with Marge Abbott and Liz Nicholson
April 15 at 6:30-7:30 p.m. EDT | Online
What gifts do we Quakers have to share with others in these harrowing times of injustice? How do we practice listening and attending to the Spirit within? In this conversation, we will discuss how everyday Friends are opening to the Spirit, deepening their connection to prophetic vision, and rekindling our history of radical witness in these times of unease, injustice and inequity.
FCNL is Still Open for Business

Our offices are temporarily closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we are still working online and by phone for the world we seek. Your advocacy and support remain essential.
