Dear Friends,

Please join us on Thursday, June 4, 2026  at 7PM BST/2PM EDT for our next Creative Conversation.  Andrea Henley Heyn will share some thoughts about “Talking to the Dead.”  The talk is intended to stimulate a discussion about how we conceptualize the afterlife.

We look forward to a lively conversation and hope that you will come and add your voice.

We welcome your thoughts about how to make these conversations more meaningful.  Address your comments to the working group at nontheistfriend@gmail.com.

Note: Friends Journal recently sent out a request for submissions on the topic of Nontheist Friends for a future edition.  The request reads: “We invite articles from Friends coming from nontheist, atheist, or agnostic perspectives. We’re interested in both the theology (non-theology?) of belief and also the experiences of being a part of the Friends spectrum.” Submissions are due by 9/21/2026 for a December 2026 publication date.
