Plainfield Hosts Friends Global Ministries Conference

Friends Global Ministries hosted their fourth annual conference this past weekend, June 28-30, at Plainfield Friends Meeting in Plainfield, Indiana. This marked the second time this conference has been held in Plainfield, as it is a viable central location for various groups of Friends who have left their native communities to come and live in North America. Part of Friends Global Ministries’ mission and ministry is to bring a diaspora of Friends together for the opportunity to feel connected, supported, and nurtured in worship as each immigrant community continues to strive to make its way in its new American location.

We were driving to my mother’s home in Nashville for our Christmas celebration, and my daughter reacted to a new construction project we hadn’t seen before. Obviously it had been quite a while since we drove south.

Coffee with Jesus

As a barista, mornings now bid me rise at 4 a.m. to fill enough carafes with liquid motivation for the 6 a.m. rush. Before the sun peeks over earth I’ve heard, “Thanks, hon” from the construction foreman with a gravelly, Sam Elliot-like voice; said, “Have a great day,” to half the hospital’s nurses as they caffeinate before their rounds; and poured refills for the jogging club whose daily circuit ends at the espresso machine.

An Enduring Truth

Throughout our history, the people known as Friends (or Quakers) keep rediscovering an essential and enduring truth: There is one who speaks to our most basic needs and most significant hopes—Christ Jesus the Lord. Both individually and communally, we are learning to know and follow the Voice that guides us in the way we should go. Together, we seek to understand and obey that truth which sets us free. As a people, we share in the experience of that powerful life which makes all things new. Maybe you are searching for an authentic and transforming faith and community to call home—if so, come in and join us as we seek to know and follow Christ.
