FoR Annual Council

Each year, usually in April, the Fellowship of Reconciliation holds its Annual Council for members and supporters. We have a keynote speaker, reports from the Chair, Treasurer and Director and the election of new trustees. Council is also an opportunity for friends old and new to come together in Fellowship.
