@TimCampaigns @gretchencastle1 Congratulations Tim. We look forward to the contribution you will make to the world family of Friends

Thank you to @gretchencastle1 for all the leadership of the past decade or so, and to the Central Executive Committee for approving me. I can't wait to start early next year.

I've been appointed as the next General Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation. I'm so delighted to be entrusted with this service and will do all I can to honour it.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that the new General Secretary of FWCC will be Tim Gee of Britain Yearly Meeting. Read the full announcement on our website fwcc.world/fwcc-news/intr… Please join us in welcoming Tim to FWCC! 🎊

@FWCC_EMES Holding Friends there in the light

Meet Lindsey Fielder-Cook and her daughter Anna. Lindsey works on the 'Human Impacts of Climate Change' at @QuakerUNOffice in Geneva. Anyone who has the pleasure of knowing Lindsey, knows she lives out our #Quaker values, so we're not surprised their family #WQD2020 sign! ✨

@FWCCWorldOffice @WorldQuakerDay @ronischapman Happy to give you something to chuckle about. Having fun together is an important part of building community.

This @WorldQuakerDay sign from @ronischapman (Section Secretary of @AsiaFwcc) made us chuckle. Being a #Quaker means something different for each member of our #worldfamilyofFriends and as Ronis' sign shows, #COVID19 has changed the way we've gathered for #worship! #Zoomlife

What does being a #Quaker mean to you? Meet our wonderful @FWCCWorldOffice Treasurer, Fenwick, and his partner Jenny, sharing their @WorldQuakerDay sign for this Sunday. They say being a #Quaker to them means: 'listening to the spirit for the prompting of love and truth'. #WQD

Being a Quaker today means lots of zoom meetings
