The FGC Gathering is a large conference of Quakers from across North America and beyond, and was offered virtually again this year.
Leslie Manning, ChIME '21, was invited to offer 5 daily reflections of their theme of "...and follow me."
Leslie has shared the link to these recordings and invites you to consider "What is the invitation? and what does it mean to say Yes?"
Leslie Manning is a member of the Durham (Maine) Meeting and an interfaith chaplain, serving incarcerated people and their loved ones and preparing our communities to be more welcoming to returning residents. She is a former president of the Maine Council of Churches and has served her Yearly Meeting as clerk of the annual sessions committee, clerk of the Working Groups on Spirituality and Sexual Ethics and Reparations for Native Americans and is currently clerk of our governance body, the Permanent Board.
For the 2022 Gathering, Leslie invited us to consider this query: In a world where we can choose to listen and obey robotic commands, what would it mean to us and our religious society if we trusted and relied upon the Divine as much as our GPS?
