The
theme, "The Lamb shall overcome," was selected from Revelation 17:14:
"These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him
are called, and chosen, and faithful."
Main speakers have been confirmed. The opening worship speaker will be Retha McCutchen, General Secretary of Friends United Meeting. The Johnson Lecture will be by Oliver Kisaka, Deputy General of the National Council of Churches of Kenya and a member of Nairobi Yearly Meeting, Kenya. The keynote address will be by Canby Jones, a member of Wilmington Yearly Meeting. Jan Hoffman of New England Yearly Meeting will lead the closing worship. Click here for an article on the Lamb's War by Canby Jones from the January/February issue of Quaker Life in which he introduces himself and the theme of the Triennial.
A
youth and children's program, as well as USFWI and Quaker Men banquets,
Bible studies, a rich selection of workshops
and local trips are planned.
