Welcome to TWIN CITIES FRIENDS MEETING

Friends Forum programs are held Sunday mornings from 9:45 to 10:45, between the two Meetings for Worship, at TCFM and on Zoom. 

Oct. 5:  Reparations to descendants of chattel enslavement in St. Paul?  Yes!  Two years ago, the City of St. Paul set up a commission to study and recommend ways to repair the damages done by the City to communities and families affected by chattel enslavement.  Their work is heating up, and you will begin to see mentions of it this winter!  Find out more from Betsy Raasch-Gilman, who's been attending the Commission's meetings.  There's a role for white accomplices/allies now!

Oct. 12:  October query discussion. How do you "spread it around"?  (As Charlie Parr put it in his song "817 Oakland Avenue.") How do we discern what we're led to get involved with? How do you know what is your calling? How do we keep spiritually grounded? Facilitated by Jess Thell and Nancy Newman.

Oct. 19:  Can boycotts stop genocide in Gaza? Speakers from the Minnesota Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Community will explain BDS, a nonviolent tool with a 20-year history of challenging collaborators in Israel’s apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Palestine, and current efforts to restore our First Amendment right to participate in BDS across Minnesota.

Oct. 26: The spirituality of autumn. Where do people sense spiritual growth in autumn? Maia Twedt and Anne Supplee will present.
