Tuesdays, for 6 weeks, with breaks, beginning January 21, from 7-8 PM MST

Quakerism 101 program available to all Friends, monthly meetings, and worship groups associated with IMYM. The goal is to provide an introductory curriculum that is foundational and accessible for new attenders and members. We will cover general Quaker practice, spiritual development, and history. The format will be low on lecture time and will emphasize discussion supplemented with good readings.
We hope that each Monthly Meeting will support this effort by providing some additional local times (e.g. once a month) to discuss more deeply how the content applies to local practice. This is an experiment and we hope to improve over time. We are eager for others to join us to help with instruction.

FGC Online Worship for White Friends Confronting Racism
The Friends General Conference (FGC) Ministry on Racism hosts a weekly Meeting for Worship for Friends of European Descent confronting racism and white supremacy. It will be held every Thursday evening at 6 PM MDT and Friday at 10 AM MDT. It is in the care of a rotating team of co-facilitators.
FGC requires that all attendees registered to participate. All attendees agree to treat each other with respect. Like at all FGC events, we have a no-harassment policy in place during our time together.
If you are white/of European descent and would like to join, please click HERE to complete a registration form (needed only once) to receive weekly emails about the event.
From an AMM regular participant: "I mark my calendar now by the weekly Worship for White Friends Confronting Racism group. It is a space in which I can consider issues of internalized racism, experiences as a white person in bringing anti-racism consciousness and work to my meeting, and growth in my understanding of the spiritual aspects of this work. 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!"
