In an age of fractured political and theological realities and an evolving media landscape, how do Friends witness and communicate the T/truth with integrity? How can this work be done collectively, bridging different worldviews among Friends? How do we create meetings that are invitational and capacious (able to contain multitudes of perspectives), while still uniting around specific T/truths?
This collaboration between the Earlham Quaker Leadership Center and Pendle Hill invites Friends into this conversation, believing our answers will be found through building relationships and listening to the Divine Teacher in each other.
We will share worship, meals, music, laughter, and learning through plenary sessions and workshops. Approaching Truth through the lens of continuing revelation, the sessions and workshops will center the voices of emerging leaders in the Quaker world, held by elders in a spirit of care.
While the workshops are in development, we are excited to announce our two plenary panels:
- Publishing Truth within Quaker Meetings: How do we lean into sharing differing T/truths with each other, arriving at a sense of the Meeting, and holding the complexities of our continued differences?
- Publishing Truth in the Wider World: Do our Meetings make specific collective commitments to publication of T/truth in the wider world? What T/truths do we choose to publicize? How do we navigate the creative tension between localism and international engagement?
