In 2021, Friends
General Conference's Ministry on Racism held their annual Fall Adult Retreat for Friends of Color virtually. During that retreat there were multiple small breakout groups, one of which was for people who identified as women of Color. During the closing of this retreat the group asked for FGC's support to continue to support a space for women of color. FGC agreed to
support these Friends with providing monthly virtual worships on Zoom. These
worships are provided as a place for BIPOC women to come together in
community and worship in an environment with other women who experience marginalization in their lives and Quaker meetings because they are a person of
Color.
The original group of BIPOC women from the 2021 Fall Adult Retreat for FOC had women from all across the world; India, England, and throughout the USA. To ensure as many can join as possible, there are two monthly virtual meetings for worship. Each worship is an hour.
Like at all FGC events, we have a no-harassment policy in place during our time together, which you can read here.
The first monthly worship is on the first Monday of the Month at 3PM ET / 2PM CT / 1PM MT / 12PM PT / 9AM HT.
The second monthly worship is on the
first Thursday of the Month at 8PM ET / 7PM CT / 6PM MT / 5PM PT / 2PM HT. If you identify and live as a woman of Color and would like to join
us, please complete this form. You only need to register once and will receive regular reminder emails about the events.
