Details
Between December 2025 and March 2026, Emily Provance will be hosting four conversation circles that are open to Friends anywhere. Sometimes these circles will include a brief presentation portion or guest speaker, but the primary emphasis of the circles will be large- and small-group discussions in which Friends can share ideas, information, resources, and worship/prayer with each other.
There are many resources already available online in connection with the life cycle of meetings. You can find written resources here and videos from a previous series of consultations here. Her book on the life cycles of meetings is available here.
This is a group for Friends in meetings or churches that are either considering laying themselves down (closing) or are in the process of laying themselves down. Please do not register if this does not describe you. It’s all right to register even if you are not able to participate in all of the gatherings. Register here.
