Friends, I want to share exciting news with you!

f/Friend Allison Kirkegaard and I just co-authored an article for Friends Journal! We met since the pandemic by going to the annual sessions of many Quaker Yearly Meetings (16 different ones between the two of us!), and felt led to share our young adult perspectives from visiting so many groups of Friends. Our article touches on some of the themes we noticed across many yearly meetings; themes of where communities listen to divine amongst us, and places that are growing edges, opportunities for transformation and listening more deeply.
Enjoy!
