All things new: Tim Gee on a new strategy for Friends World Committee for Consultation

These last few weeks, I’ve been meditating on the word ‘new’. I’ve been guided by the Bible passage that will be used in the upcoming Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) Section of the Americas gathering: ‘Look, I am doing something new’ (Isaiah 43:19). It’s been on my mind because the epistle from the 2024 Quaker World Plenary Meeting used the words ‘new’ or ‘renew’ ten times, citing 2 Corinthians 5:17 (‘Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!’).
