16 “Friends Consultations” between 1980 and 1997 on a variety of subjects of deep concern to Friends. Yearly meetings from the different branches of North American Quakerism were asked to appoint representatives to these consultations.
These were co-sponsored by Quaker Hill and by Earlham School of Religion. Most or perhaps all were organized by Wilmer Cooper, Dean of ESR. These were weekend gatherings held at Quaker Hill Conference Center in Richmond, Indiana.
