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.

There was a time in not-so-ancient history when a daily newspaper was delivered—in print—to homes like yours and mine. No, really! And it had actual news in it—of international, national, and local interest. Actual news!?!? Google it—the internet can tell you all about these relics.

All Were Satisfied

Today, I shared communion with eleven other Quakers. Actually, the meal was mandazi and Chai tea, but the real Presence of Christ was experienced and celebrated in our midst.

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.
