Meeting for Worship with Attention to Vanguard Leadership
Wednesday, February 26th at 8 am Eastern/5 am Pacific
As Vanguard shareholders meet virtually to vote for fund trustees, we will gather virtually with Earth Quaker Action Team and others around the world. Join online for Quaker style silent worship, ending with information for more ways you can be involved to reach Vanguard. Together, we will hold out a vision where Vanguard leadership, responsible for stewarding the world’s largest investor in fossil fuels, recognize their power, increase their truly sustainable investment options for all clients, and move away from the worst fossil fuel companies.

Monthly Worship Sharing
Typically, Fourth Tuesday of each month, 7 p.m. Eastern time/4 p.m. Pacific time
In worship sharing, we gather in small groups to focus on a particular query to explore our own experience and share with each other more deeply than we would in normal conversation. It seeks to draw us into sacred space, where we can take down our usual defenses and encounter each other in “that which is eternal.”

Weekly Fellowship Hour
