Big News! ABQ Friends Move Forward on Construction of New Building
After many years of discussion and discernment, the Meeting approved going forward with a
building project on the premises. The meeting was hybrid (attended both on Zoom and in-person).
1. AMM approves moving forward with a building project that includes constructing an auxiliary building on our
current grounds, along with possible renovations to our current Meetinghouse and landscaping.
2. AMM approves taking the steps recommended by the Fundraising Outreach Group (FOG), namely, to form and
be willing to serve on interacting working groups: for example, (1) Design, (2) City Regulations and Permitting,
(3) Finances, (4) Fundraising, (5) Community Outreach & Engagement, (6) Children/Youth Programming, and
(7) Ongoing Conversations Within the Meeting. Minor Morgan and Sara Keeney will act in a coordinating role
with respect to the working groups.
3. AMM approves committing an initial investment of up to $30,000 to hire an architect or other professionals and
to cover other related initial expenses of the working groups.

Friends General Conference (FGC) Offerings
Weekly Worship Sharing for Friends of Color & White Friends Confronting Racism

Friends General Conference (FGC) offers weekly worship opportunities online for both Friends of Color and for White Friends Confronting Racism. Learn more, including how to register, on the Racial Justice page.
Here's what an AMM member who regularly attends this gathering shared:
"The weekly Worship for White Friends Confronting Racism group is a space where I feel utterly safe in considering issues of internalized racism, experiences as a white person in bringing anti-racism consciousness and work to my meeting, and growing in my understanding of the spiritual aspects of this work. Breakout groups add to the opportunities for fellowship and mutual support. I find it discouraging that the number of attendees is small -- with this offering extending to Quakers across the country. It begs the question as to where is everyone else? As one participant said, "We have to find ways to talk with other white people about race!" Join us.
