Events Calendar

The ad hoc Growing Diverse Leadership Committee and the Working Group on Racism invite you to this free Change Group training to realize our vision of overcoming racism and becoming a multicultural religious society. Our lead facilitator is Dr. Amanda Kemp assisted by Dr. Erika Fitz. Both are members of a Lancaster Monthly Meeting. Each training session will be from 10am to 5pm (with an hour lunch break). Click here to download the flyer and registration instructions. Before we can create healthy relationships across the color line, attract and retain racial diversity, or be effective advocates for change in our Meeting we need to increase self-awareness. We will focus on:
• Noticing implicit racial bias and unintended micro-aggressions
• Removing audio and visuals in our home and Meeting that cue negative racial stereotypes
• Adding audio and visuals that promote equity in our community
• Expanding our leadership and positive impact by going towards what we fear
• Creating an action plan that includes regularly reflecting on our impact and intention.

Join Friends from across Nottingham Quarter as they meet to build their community.

Join us for a vegan feast provided by members of Baltimore Yearly Meeting’s Working Group on Right Relationship with Animals. All the food will be provided, so you need only bring yourself (but if you feel moved to help, please contact Margaret Fisher at 1margaret.e.fisher@gmail.com). After the meal there will be a presentation and worship sharing about the effect our food choices have on animals and on the environment. The event is free. We hope to see you. Please send us a note about any other dietary restrictions you have if you plan on attending! The meal will begin at 5:30pm.
