The 2022 Walton Lecture with Windy Cooler & Melinda Wenner Bradley.
We want a vibrant multigenerational community, but what stands in the way? What lights the way? What stories do we carry about our families, our meetings, and our faith that invite or discourage our wonder, our welcome, and our inclusion of all ages in community?

The 2022 Michener Lecture with Nancy Fennell
What does it mean for us, as individuals and as Quaker meeting communities, to be “the temple of God?” A temple is a place of worship and a place to serve under the leadings of God. Nancy Fennell shares spiritual practices that help both individuals and the community be ‘temples;’ and how our meetings can be, and are called to be, places of gathered worship, witness, service, love and compassion.

The 2021 Walton Lecture with Emily Provance.
We’re in the midst of a time that’s anything but normal. We’re doing things differently, like it or not, and almost all of us are grieving: grieving loved ones, grieving predictability, grieving the condition of the world. We’re also hoping: hoping to reunite with dear ones, hoping for growth and new opportunities, hoping for something that feels like normal.
