QEW Spring Gathering: Finding Our Prophetic Voice

April 25, 2024 - April 28, 2024

Details

What would it look like for Quakers to rediscover our Prophetic Voice in these Prophetic Times? 

Join us for our semi-annual gathering to discuss the future of Quaker Earthcare Witness, discover new insights, and deepen your faith with an Earthcare-centered community. We will meet online from Thursday, April 25th to Sunday, the 28th.

In the mornings, we will Worship from 11:30-12:00am ET followed by Worship Sharing 12:00-1pm ET. On Saturday morning - 12:00-1pm - we will be holding a discussion on Protecting Democracy – Sharing Tips on How To Be an Informed Voter. 

In the afternoons, April 25th-28th, join us for deeper dives into QEW's business, our aspirations as an organization, and hold "cross-pollinations" our committees and working groups. 

In the evenings, we will gather for plenaries and fellowship, including our Keynote Dialogue with Daniel Schmachtenberger on Friday, April 26th at 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific. Daniel works as a researcher, consultant, and public speaker pushing world leaders and ordinary people to recognize that a radical shift is necessary if we are to right our course as a civilization.

You can watch a 30min talk by Daniel on "Humanities Phase Shift" to get a sense of his ministry and message or click on the video above. We'd like your input and questions over the next couple weeks to include our whole community in this dialogue. Please use this form to send a prewritten question to Daniel that you'd like to hear him address!

You can find our draft agenda here. Join us at our upcoming QEW Spring Gathering as we seek out QEW’s Prophetic Voice, our Common Purpose, and ignite the spark within us all.
