Quakers from Kenya, El Salvador, Rwanda, South Africa, the Philippines, Australia, Aotearoa, the USA, Mexico, Germany and England are currently gathered at the 'first Friends World Office' - Swarthmoor Hall - for the last day of the annual in-person Central Executive Committee of the Friends World Committee for Consultation.

Thank you to staff and local residents for welcoming us so warmly.

With the help of interpreters the meeting is taking place in three languages, and helping decide the future steps of the global body which connects Quakers together in 100+ countries.

Part of the Friends World Committee's mission is to communicate our common message and heritage internationally. We look forward to sharing more news soon.
