News and Notes

A website recommendation from Walt Marston: I was searching for info about the Wider Quaker Fellowship and ran across this site: Voices of Friends. It looks very helpful in understanding the wide variety of Quaker expressions in the world. Even mentions Holiness Friends (one yearly meeting in Indiana with relationship to Bolivia?).

Right Sharing of World Resources, a Quaker organization that GRFMM has supported, has published its second-quarter newsletter. You can access it at the organization’s website at http://www.rswr.org/.
