“A curriculum envisioned, created, and developed as a way to guide and educate young Friends in their Quaker faith, similar to Confirmation Classes or Bar/Bat Mitzvah studies found in other faiths. For any Quaker Meeting or Church, the program is designed for middle and high-school students, but it can instruct and enliven Friends of any age. Through discussions and activities, this 10-month curriculum takes students on a journey of exploration through Quaker History, the testimonies, the different methods that Quakers use to discern God’s voice, Quaker theology, Quaker artists and changemakers, how Quakerism compares to other religions, as well as their own developing beliefs and spirituality.” —From Indianapolis First Friends Meeting
