In a Time of Transition: Seeds of Change, Roots of Strength
"As individuals and the Religious Society of Friends, we are living in a time of dramatic transition. With Friends’ practices of openness, deep listening, and communal discernment, transition can be a time of great potential and renewal. In our time together, we will consider ways of moving through this time that can open us up towards growth and prepare us for the change that is coming."
