What does it mean to live our faith in public? What’s the connection between Quaker leadership and ministry? These are just some of the questions we’ll discuss in our final Quaker Changemaker event of 2021, when FCNL Director of Quaker Leadership Alicia McBride is in conversation with outgoing General Secretary Diane Randall. Register to join us online on Weds. Dec. 15 at 6:30 p.m. EST. Their discussion will cover how Diane came to Quakerism and to FCNL, her leading to public ministry as the head of the organization, and her experiences of living into Quaker faith and practice while serving as the general secretary of FCNL for the last decade. Please join us to reflect and add your perspectives on living one’s faith in the world. Register now!

We are eager to share the QVS experience with more young adults, and excited to announce that applications for the 2022-2023 fellowship year are now open! Click here for more information.

Every two years, Quaker meetings and churches around the country come together in community to discern FCNL’s legislative priorities for the next Congress. FCNL values your meeting or church’s worshipful input and guidance—we invite you to be a part of creating the legislative priorities that we’ll push for in Washington for the coming two years! A good way to prepare for the priorities process is by getting a discernment meeting scheduled on your community’s calendar now, so that your circle of Friends has completed this process by April when the priorities are due. FCNL can offer support so that your meeting or church feels equipped to engage—whether resources, volunteer/staff facilitation, or another form of support. You can view this guide on how to participate for ideas on how to best engage in your community.
