The Fellowship Forum was founded to create a group whose purpose would be simply to meet at a weekly luncheon and discuss matters of general interest. Active membership is limited in number.
Members or guest speakers present a broad diversity of subjects. Speakers must avoid advocating partisan political positions or denominational religious doctrine. A brief period for questions or comments customarily concludes the meeting.
A history of the Fellowship Forum, to the extent that records still exist to describe it, has been summarized and archived on this website.
A single History Page serves as an overview with links to the details.
Please enjoy learning more about our past.
For many years before his death, Ed Davis managed the Fellowship Forum Database, and produced a variety of documents of interest to our members. These include:
