Serving through the ministry of the word
For more than fifty years, QuakerPress of FGC has published books, pamphlets, curricula, and a CD. Many of these titles are still in print, or are now available as digital downloads for ereaders. Our materials are available from QuakerBooks of FGC as well as other book retailers.
FGC publishes resources with the goal of nurturing Quaker meetings and individual Friends.
Traditionally, we have published books (print and ebooks) and pamphlets, although we have also produced CDs and digital resources in the past. Our primary publishing imprint is QuakerPress of FGC .
Books published by QuakerPress of FGC must be on topics that address one or more of FGC’s major goals. Friends General Conference, with Divine guidance, nurtures the spiritual vitality of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) by providing programs and services for Friends, meetings, and seekers.
FGC's Major Goals
QuakerPress titles are carried by QuakerBooks of FGC, our own bookstore, and marketed in other venues, including bookstores in North America and Europe.
We anticipate publishing one to two books per year.
