2008 General Gathering of Conservative Friends

"Have ye not read this Scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: and this was the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes?"

Mark 12:10, 11.

"Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded.  Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed the same is made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

I Peter 2:6-8

Dear Friends:

We are again inviting Conservative Friends and those of like mind to come together for worship and fellowship on Sixth Month, 20, 21, & 22, 2008.  Jesus told the woman at the well, "The day is coming and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him."  We should not despair at the modern secular inroads that have happened in some parts of the Society of Friends.   Those Stones that have been removed have caused weakening in their structure.  Come, gather with us, building again on the one Corner Stone.

       On Behalf of Ohio Yearly Meeting, WFCF

"This then is the way of worshiping in the true Light; divers living stones meeting together, every one retiring in spirit into the living name, into the power which begat them, they all meeting in one and the same place, in one and the same power, in one and the same fountain of Life; Here they bow down to the Father of life, offering up living sacrifices to him, and receiving the bread and water of life from him and feeding in the rich pasture so infinite fullness."

Isaac Penington
