Program
Christina Repoley will present the program, "A Way of Being, Not Just Doing, " via Zoom. Special attention to high school, middle school, and mature elementary school children.
Join us to consider the ways in which we come to more deeply know and testify to God's Transforming Presence through our witness. How is service a spiritual practice, central to our Quaker faith? How do we participate in service in such a way that respects and honors all people and all creation. Together we will explore what Rufus Jones calls Friends' "prophetic service" - past, present and future. We will explore our own personal understandings of and experiences with service and witness and ways we might support each other in our leadings. Our time together will include a special break out room for young Friends to consider Christina’s message with Christina while adults meet separately.
Christina Repoley is the founder and former executive director of Quaker Voluntary Service. She is a member of Atlanta Friends Meeting in Atlanta, GA. She is a graduate of Guilford College's Quaker Leadership Scholars Program and holds an MDiv from Candler School of Theology at Emory University.
