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.
