  • Keith Runyan, Plenary at Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting

    June 18th, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

    “We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For.” These words, first penned by June Jordan to commemorate resistance to South African apartheid, and echoed by Alice Walker and Hopi elders alike, remains a rallying call to our work in prophetic times. What would it look like if we Quakers faced the anxieties of our age not with shortcuts or escapism but with courage, unwavering faith, and submission to the call?

Recurring Events

  • 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.”
