Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC )
6th World Conference 2012
change of dates - to be held from 17 to 25 April 2012
The Friends World Committee for Consultation welcomes the news that the people of Kenya have approved their new Constitution. We pray that it will help Kenya to move forward in peace and harmony.
One of the provisions of the new Constitution is that national elections could now be held as early as August 2012 rather than in December.
It had originally been envisaged that the Sixth World Conference of Friends would be held in Kenya in August 2012. Since Kenyan Friends, who are hosting the World Conference, will naturally want to focus on the campaign if it is being conducted at that time, it has been decided that it would not be appropriate to plan to hold the World Conference in August.
However, we are pleased to announce that our proposed venue, Kabarak University, near Nakuru, is able to accommodate the World Conference in April 2012.
Therefore, we are announcing new dates for the World Conference..
FWCC General Secretary Nancy Irving said, “Although this brings the dates of the Sixth World Conference forward, we are pleased that we can do this as Kenyan Friends are excited about hosting the wider family of Friends. It will be a challenge to accommodate this change so quickly, but I am confident that together we can do it.”
