Gatherings
Twice a year, Friends for Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, and Transgender Concerns
gather to worship, conduct business,
pray, and play. In July, our numbers are
large, and we are a visible and valued
presence at the Friends General
Conference Gathering. We are a
community within a community there,
worshiping together daily but dispersing
throughout the Gathering at the rise of
Meeting.
Each February, we meet for a long
weekend dedicated to FLGBTQC work
and play. Our numbers are often smaller,
from 100 to 200, and we retreat together
to attend to old relationships and deepen
new ones.
