What Conferences Are
Our unique Young Friends conferences offer a sanctuary from the frenzied lives of the teens who attend. The community has become an important stepping stone on the way to maturity and spiritual recognition. The drive for leadership that our self-governance creates is of utmost importance to our community and its members. Exposure to this kind of responsibility is something that we feel helps us grow into more developed and more self aware contributing members of society. The atmosphere which we have created through many years of Young Friends’ strength and wisdom is a spiritually loving and welcoming home for the members of our community. It’s a place where we have fun and where everyone is loved.
When a Young Friend is at a conference, he or she is always being held in the Light. This empathetic love between peers is what initiates the celebration of us, as a community, that occurs at every conference. We feel that when we hold hands and express without speaking our prayer, the connection between us is even more obvious than when we interact within our lives. The Young Friends community has taught us to live the testimonies beyond memorizing them.
For this, we are thankful.- From a message from Young Friends gathered 5th Month 25-27, 2007 at Tandem Friends School, Charlottesville, VA
