Looking for a reboot after a busy work season? FGC recommends the following tip for Friends and newcomers: Attend a retreat for Friends of Color. Each year, FGC’s Ministry on Racism Program sponsors Spring and Fall Retreats for Friends of Color and their families to come together to build multigenerational community. Retreats for Friends of Color focus on mutual support, worship, and exploring the Quaker faith. Recently, Friends met for the Fall Retreat.

We just wrapped up the Online Fall Retreat -- check it out here!

Previous retreats have been held in upstate New York, the Philadelphia area, Washington DC, Chicago, and California. Since 2021, all retreats hosted by the Ministry on Racism have had virtual access. Some retreats are hybrid, and some are online-only.

Bonnie Raitt: “I never thought of it in terms of men or women, I taught myself to play guitar because I was in love with Joan Baez’s voice, and she was also a Quaker.

“I taught myself country-blues off of records that didn’t even include women, but I didn’t think about it at the time. Dave Van Ronk, John Hammond, Jr., and (the trio) Koerner, Ray & Glover were the first people I heard who made me realize it was OK to be white and play blues, and that you weren’t (trespassing) on hallowed ground.

“Barbara Dane and Judy Roderick were two blues women in the 1960s who knocked me out. I knew about Sister Rosetta Tharpe, but a little later. Pops Staples was one of the guitar guys for me. And two of my heroes were Memphis Minnie and Sippie Wallace. I was inspired by the whole story about Minnie being a street busker and sometimes disguising herself as a man.

“I knew Aretha (Franklin) played piano, and thought it was great, because I loved the way she accompanied herself. And Ray Charles was as important to me as anybody. I learned off of records, as many of us kids did. I took piano lessons, but not guitar lessons. So I was trying to emulate how Fred McDowell, Son House and Robert Johnson played. There wasn’t any YouTube then, so I had to do it by ear.”

As a parent , caregiver , or grandparent, have you ever wondered:

How should I deal with my two year old having a temper tantrum in the super market or my fourteen year old who merely rolls her eyes when asked to take out the trash?
How can I make sense out of all the child rearing advice coming my way?
Does my Quaker faith in any way speak to my parenting?
