Virtual Plenary Videos

At our Annual Sessions in August 2019, Lisa Graustein (Beacon Hill, MA, Friends Meeting) facilitated a plenary (whole group) session designed to help Friends understand some of our recent minutes around justice and how we step more fully into them.

In preparation, Lisa invited New England Friends into an experiment with a "virtual plenary." These videos explore some of the minutes we have approved in past years, how they are moving among us, and spiritual practices we can try out as part of our shared work living into the minutes.

Additional resources are listed in the documents available for download, below.
