2022 Sessions Recordings

The 2023 Bible half hours were presented by Regina Renee Ward, a Christian Friend from Pueblo, Colorado, and a member of Ujima Friends Meeting. Regina Renee may be familiar to some New England Friends, having given Bible Half Hours at Friends General Conference and co-presented the Walking with the Bible series offered by Woolman Hill Quaker Center and the Beacon Hill Friends House.  She is passionate about social justice, intellectual freedom, reading, and building community. Her work with Friends and racial healing was born out of necessity as she navigates life as both a woman of African descent and a Christian Friend. Regina Renee is someone for whom the Bible is not just a foundational document for our faith tradition, but is a living, breathing guide to daily living. 

Please note: Regina Renee Ward was unable to present her final Bible Half Hour on August 11. Her presentation will be scheduled at another time and the recording will be posted here.

Emily Provance from New York Yearly Meeting presented the 2022 plenary. Emily has a travel minute from 15th St Meeting in New York City, and travels widely in the ministry, carrying a particular concern for helping Friends know each other while embracing differences. One particular manifestation of this is her encouragement of Friends to grow into a deeper understanding of the spiritual benefits of being intergenerational, and how to move from aspiration to practice.
