The Gathering, 2021
Friends, you may know that the annual week long gathering of Friends from the US, Canada and many other countries is scheduled to take place the week of June 27. Once again, the session will be virtual, allowing us to attend with from our homes. Check it out! And remember that Adult Spiritual Education has funds to help pay for conference expenses.
Below is a message sent to me from the Gathering Conference Coordinator.
Feel free to ask me questions.

“It was wonderful to gather with Friends from all over, many of whom would probably not have been able to participate at all if the Gathering was only in-person.”
We received many expressions of appreciation like this one after the 2020 Virtual Gathering. Hosting FGC’s annual summer event online in 2020 made it possible for many people from across the Quaker landscape to attend. We can’t wait to see who will join us this summer!
I’m excited to share that Tara Houska will be our Friday EveningPlenary Speaker!Tara (Couchiching First Nation Anishinaabe) is a tribal attorney, founder of Giniw Collective, and is currently engaged in the movement to defund fossil fuel use.
