2026 Sessions Recordings

Adria (Gulizia) DiCapua is a lawyer, mediator, teacher, and mother. Adria carries a concern for how Friends’ traditional faith and practice translates into an increasingly unstable, atomized, and uncertain world. She is passionate about inviting all into deeper relationship with the Spirit of Christ, which spoke so strongly to early Friends and continues to speak today.

C. Wess Daniels (he/him, Friend) is our Sunday afternoon plenary speaker. He is the William R. Rogers Director of Friends Center and Quaker Studies at Guilford College. The highlight of this work for him is working with undergraduate students, teaching classes like Introduction to Quakerism, The Practice of Silence, and Boredom as a Superpower. Wess’s writings include the book Resisting Empire: The Book of Revelation as Resistance (2019) and a forthcoming Pendle Hill Pamphlet (#500) Liturgies of Imperialism, Liturgies of Resistance. Wess is a recorded Quaker minister and member of First Friends Meeting in Greensboro, NC. He is committed to the work of regaining our capacity for deep attention, anti-imperial expressions of Christianity, and the building of liberatory movements that embody love and justice in the world.
