SUMMARY:Wilmington Monthly Meeting - July 4th demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Black Lives Matter demonstration on Fourth Street in front of Wilmington Meeting at Fourth and West Sts. in Wilmington Saturday\, July 4\, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.  \nWe would like to invite folks from the Concord and Western Quarters.  We’ll be carrying “Black Lives Matter” and “There is that of God in Everyone” signs that demonstrators will themselves bring.  \nWe see July 4 as a particularly good time for a demonstration\, because it is the start of a country that was built on the backs of slaves.  “Independence Day”– HA!

SUMMARY:Joint Quarter Program - Braver Angels Skills Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Concord & Western Quarters\n\n\n \n\n\nConversation Training for a Polarized Society\n\n\n\n\n\nIn December of 2016 … With passions still high following the election we assembled 10 Trump supporters and 11 Clinton supporters in South Lebanon\, Ohio. This would become our first Red/Blue Workshop. The goal was simple. We needed to see if Americans could still disagree respectfully – and just maybe\, find common ground. Some thought it wasn’t likely. We proved our skeptics wrong. https://braverangels.org/our-story/\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\nMadelena Rizzo and Jennifer Elam are experienced moderators for the Braver Angels organization. Braver Angels was organized in 2016 to help participants with opposing political views learn to speak with one another with respect and understanding while still holding onto their core beliefs. Madelena and Jennifer will conduct an official Braver Angels workshop designed to teach us these skills in this 2-hour online experience.\nMadelena Rizzo is currently in her fifth year in a dual law/clinical psychology graduate program at Drexel University. She attended Friends’ Central School in Wynnewood\, PA\, from 1st grade to 12th grade and credits the school with instilling in her a lifelong pursuit of the common good.\nJennifer Elam is a member of Berea Friends Meeting in Berea\, Kentucky\, with a PhD in school psychology from the University of North Carolina. She is a licensed psychologist who has studied Quaker spirituality and the lives of the Christian contemplatives and mystics.\nThis is a special event that requires registration by July 21. You will be sent the Zoom in an email confirmation.\nRegister by July 21 at: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUofuqopzIvHtZA8pGbVpMB3fe3G8qBbNwp\nParticipants are asked to take an online module that takes about 40 minutes within a week of the workshop. That link is here: https://braverangels.org/online/online-skills-training/ You are welcome to complete the online module even if you cannot attend the workshop.\n\n\n \n\n \n\nBraverAgl_flyer20200722

SUMMARY:PYM Annual Sessions - Online
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends\, \nIn light of the COVID-19 pandemic and after careful discernment\, the Sessions Coordinating Committee and the leadership of the councils of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting have thoughtfully and carefully decided that this year’s Annual Sessions (July 29 – August 2\, 2020) will move to a virtual space in order to preserve the care and well-being of our community. \nAlthough sadly we will not be together in a physical sense\, there are many exciting opportunities before us for a spirit-led\, fellowship-filled\, and fun Annual Sessions. With blessings and support from the Sessions Coordinating Committee\, members of the Community Engagement Team have begun looking at our options and capabilities to offer workshops as interactive video ‘gatherings’ online or at future events. \nWe will have more to share in the coming weeks. Be well and be safe\, Friends. \nQuestions? \n\nOlivia Brangan\, Community Engagement Coordinator\, obrangan@pym.org\nT.J. Jourian\, Events and Resources Coordinator\, tjjourian@pym.org\n\nCHILDREN’S and MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMMING FOR ANNUAL SESSIONS \nChildren’s Sessions is for rising K-Grade 5 and combines a “summer camp” experience and spiritual community for children with workshops\, stories\, art\, and music. \nThe decision has been made to move Annual Sessions 2020 into virtual spaces\, including Youth Programs. Children’s and Middle School Friends Sessions will have workshop time with the Resident Artist\, the poet Zenaida Peterson\, and make music with City Love. We’re cooking up ways to explore the theme “Using Your Voice!” together! \nAnnual Sessions is also a time for Families to be in community together in the Family Neighborhood and while we can’t reside there together this summer\, we’ll offer a space for parents to gather online for support and fellowship\, too.

How does our community help us become known\, inside and outside of the Quaker world?

A graduate of Guilford College\, Naomi served as the program coordinator at William Penn House before transitioning to seminary to pursue a career in chaplaincy.

SUMMARY:Climate and Justice Work of Monthly Meetings
DESCRIPTION:On July 11th\, Friends from across PYM met in a Plenary Session on Climate Change to consider what it would mean to adopt the EJC minute to make the climate crisis a Yearly-Meeting-wide witness/concern. While we must wait until a business meeting to adopt such a minute\, those present expressed an urgent desire to start working together right away on climate change and environmental justice. In our next webinar\, on Monday\, August 24th\, the Eco Justice Collaborative will host a panel of representatives from around the Yearly Meeting who will give us a view of what individuals and meetings are already doing. A Q&A session and breakout rooms will give all participants a chance to share ideas and network.\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/97813294124\nMeeting ID: 978 1329 4124\nOne tap mobile\n+19294362866\,\,97813294124# US (New York)\n  \nSee the event at its PYM page.

SUMMARY:Caln Quarterly Membership Development Session
DESCRIPTION:Registration is open for the Part 3 in the Caln Quarterly Meeting–Membership Development Series\nRegister Here: https://calnquarterlymeeting.ticketspice.com/caln-quarterly-meeting-membership-development-series-part-3\nSaturday\, September 12\, 10:00 am to 11:30 am\n\nPart 3: Friendly Fences – How Making Assumptions Prevents Us From Making New Friends\n\nPresented by Marta Rusek and Rachel Ernst Stahlhut from Friends General Conference\nWelcoming is not the work of one or two people at the door.  It takes a whole meeting to create a culture that is ready to attentively and joyfully bring newcomers into the fold of the community.  Sometimes\, however\, as a result of our assumptions and unexamined biases\, we as Quakers can unintentionally put up barriers that keep people out rather than invite people in.  We refer to these barriers as “Friendly Fences.”  In this workshop\, Marta Rusek and Rachel Ernst Stahlhut from Friends General Conference will explore the ways that Friendly Fences hinder the welcome experienced by visitors to our Quaker meetings due to race\, family structure\, age\, sexual orientation and gender identity\, disability\, political views\, and class background.  We will offer some practical resources for shifting the culture of welcoming in your meeting.\nSome of the presentation material is part of FGC’s Growing Our Meetings Toolkit which is organized around the three themes below. This part of the Caln Quarterly Meeting Membership Development Series will focus on the first of the three themes:\n\n\nIntegrating Newcomers (welcoming visitors and helping them connect with the life of the meeting)\n\n\nInreach (deepening and strengthening the spiritual life of the meeting)\n\n\nOutreach (making our presence known in the community)
