The reputation of William Penn has evolved in recent decades, as modern Quakers reconsider his relationships with Black and Native peoples in what would become Pennsylvania. But many Friends are reluctant to abandon one of the religion's most prominent heroes.
Quakers Today, hosted by Peterson Toscano, features writers, musicians, and thinkers who are seeking wisdom and understanding in a rapidly changing world.
Join us on Feb. 28 to hear about their recent trip to the region and its impact. Along with longtime FCNL community member Jonathan Evans, we will discuss how FCNL is using Quaker principles to advocate for a lasting peace in Israel and Palestine.
Every two years, FCNL asks Friends around the country for help in setting the focus of our advocacy work. Starting now until mid-April, you and your community of Friends can participate in this discernment process to influence the priorities that we at FCNL will advocate for during the next Congress starting in 2025.
