All Friends are encouraged to join FGC’s Ministry on Racism and the Quaker group at WPC17 Registration opens Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. WPC was established and is organized by African American professor Dr. Eddie Moore. The conference strives to empower and equip a variety of attenders to work for equity and justice through self and social transformation. FGC is sponsoring a group discount for the White Privilege Conference for a fifth year, and has supported nearly 200 Quakers over five years in attending WPC. These Friends took advantage of a 55% discount on registration. Baltimore Yearly Meeting is also a sponsor this year. For the past four years local Friends and FGC have sponsored a Quaker hospitality room where Friends could take a break when needed, gather for worship, and have a Quaker caucus for worship sharing. Local Friends have also provided overnight hospitality and transportation assistance to out-of-state participants. For more information, contact Vanessa Julye at FGC. (215-561-1700 x3006) Registration opens on January 18.
