More on the Plenary Address
“An Epistle of Hope in a Discouraging Time”
A member of the Rich Square Monthly Meeting in rural northeastern North Carolina, part of the North Carolina Yearly Meeting (Conservative), Lloyd Lee Wilson has served in many roles in various Quaker organizations, including FGC, AFSC, and FUM. As a recorded minister of the gospel for two decades, he has addressed many Friends’ gatherings and yearly meetings, including, many years ago, our own. Friends have read and studied his two books, Essays on the Quaker Vision of Gospel Order and Wrestling with Our Faith Tradition, as well as numerous journal articles and pamphlets. He is currently teaching “Introduction to the Bible” and “Introduction to Christian Pacifism” at Chowan University, in Murfreesboro, North Carolina. As plenary speaker, he will offer “An Epistle of Hope in a Discouraging Time,” a beautiful interpretation of this year’s theme.
We are eager to greet old Friends and welcome many newcomers in July. See you in Bluffton!
