"We ponder ways to overcome our anger as we seek to find commonality with those with whom we do not agree, ways to discern the difference between speaking the truth in love and lashing out in anger, ways to ‘stand still in the light’ until we are empowered to speak from a spiritual center. When we fail in these areas, we hope to be patient with each other.” – Goose Creek Friends SSoM, March 2017

April 2:  Author Talk At a time of deep concern about attacks on minority groups and religious communities, many of us ask ourselves what would we do if targeted persecution became more prevalent in the United States.  Author Mary Dingee Fillmore will visit FMW to talk about these issues as reflected in her new historical novel, An Address in Amsterdam.  It is the story of a young Jewish woman who joins the anti-Nazi underground, set against the backdrop of how the people of Amsterdam responded to Nazi persecution.  Sunday, April 2, 2017 from 12:15 – 1:45 at FMW.  

April 5: Help make sandwiches for the Grate Patrol to take to our vulnerable neighbors, starting at 5:30 pm. For more information, contact Steve Brooks at sbrooks@uab.edu
