The Intervisitation Working Group invites you to join us. Our goal is to facilitate a greater understanding and appreciation among Yearly Meetings, as well as local Meetings. Come join us in practicing being a friendly ambassador under the care of BYM. We hope by sharing worship and fellowship with other Friends, we can develop a wider perspective and respect for one another. If you have interest in learning about how other Friends worship and embrace Quakerism, this Working Group could be a good fit for you. If you are interested but can't travel, you are still very welcome. Please join us to learn more at our Traveler's Gathering on March 19 at Richmond Friends Meeting. Hope to see you soon.
