Connecting friends, crossing cultures, changing lives

Through its programs Voices of Friends and The Wider Quaker Fellowship, Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) Section of the Americas works to express our common heritage and our Quaker message to the world. You’re invited to read the newest selection of contemporary Quaker writing on Voices of Friends:

   • An Ocean of Darkness, an Ocean of Light, y un Barquito Grande: Friends Ministry of Hope in a Troubled World. Bridget Moix’s message reflects on how peacemakers maintain a positive approach when facing a discouraging political scene.  Read the complete article.
   • The Transforming Power of the Psalms. Through her examination of the Psalms, author Elizabeth Meyer seeks to reassure us that although we may not be able to keep from feeling anger, we can turn that anger over to God, who understands it, and thus move toward loving our enemies. Read the complete article.

• Read the complete letter that introduces each of these articles from Judy Inskeep, Clerk of the Wider Quaker Fellowship.

Next April a  large ‘family reunion’ of Quakers from around the globe will meet in Kenya to consider questions that many in the Religious Society of Friends are asking: What is the Quaker response to global change? What are Friends called to do in a world that is broken? What is the relevant Quaker message for the 21st century?

FWCC invites you to join in learning what Quakers from Kenya, Russia, India, El Salvador, England,  Bolivia, Korea, the United States and more have to say about  these  issues.

Download the essays for personal use or purchase a hard copy of the Study Booklet for the Sixth World Conference of Friends. Learn more.

Voices of Friends aims to feed the souls of those who feel an affinity to the beliefs and  practices of Quakers and to provide an entry point to understanding Quakerism today in all its diversity.
