What is the Triennial?
The Triennial is the business meeting for the Friends World Committee
for Consultation. Every three years, the representatives named by
their yearly meetings gather for nine days not only to conduct business
but also to grow in the life of Christ and the Holy Spirit by discovering
together their common spiritual ground. In addition to the representatives,
there are some spaces for Quaker organizations and observers.
The 2007 Triennial is hosted by Ireland Yearly Meeting. Their Local
Arrangements Committee works with the World Office in London to make
the gathering possible.
The work of the gathering is not only the administrative business
of FWCC, but also the exchanges and communication among Friends worldwide
about the work of Friends in the world and our joy in living our
faith. It is a time to learn about each other and the challenges
and successes of other yearly meetings. All the work arises out of
worship and worship sharing discussion groups.
