Adult Spiritual Education
The Adult Spiritual Education (ASE) Committee’s mission is to enrich the spiritual life of Richmond Friends Meeting. The committee offers educational programs that explore Quaker history, testimonies, and values. ASE events are for everyone – seasoned Friends/friends and newcomers. All are welcome.
Each year, ASE uses a portion of a fund, endowed by our late member Jean Jones Andersen, to support adult spiritual education at Richmond Friends Meeting.
