With regret, the Planning Committee for Stoking the Fire has decided to cancel the 2018 event due to low participant numbers. This would have been the fourth annual retreat in this series aimed at encouraging the spiritual fire of renewal among North American Friends. With the exception of 2017, when the retreat was held in conjunction with the FUM Triennial, this has been a Pentecost event, and the planning committee anticipates planning for Pentecost weekend 2019, which will be June 9th.
