What is the New England Yearly Meeting FWCC Committee?

New England Yearly Meeting's Nominating Committee recommends members of the Religious Society of Friends (also known as Quakers) to serve for three year terms on the Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) committee.

The purpose of the New England Yearly Meeting (NEYM) Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) committee is to advance the purposes of this Quaker world organization founded in 1937 among New England Friends. The purpose of FWCC is to encourage fellowship among all branches of the Religious Society of Friends. Read more...

The NEYM FWCC committee is made up of about 8-10 members, four of whom are designated as FWCC Representatives. While FWCC activities are open to all, Representatives participate in consultations, annual meetings, regional gatherings, Triennials and other FWCC events as representatives of NEYM.

We come from all parts of the New England region in the United States representing different branches of the Quaker tree for NEYM committee days to learn from each other and to "share our Light" as we plan projects, workshops, outreach programs and more.

New England Quakers have a diverse and rich tradition of embracing both programmed and unprogrammed worship. Our gatherings are always an adventure!
