Pendle Hill Offers Weekends on Quaker Basics

from the November/December 2008 issue publication made possible by your contributions to the PYM Annual Fund

A participant in a recent "how-to" weekend at Pendle Hill wrote, "I came to the workshop hoping for some 'tools' for the toolbox and left with the hardware store!" Many Friends serving their meetings as clerks, recording clerks, and committee members find it useful to add to their "toolbox" through workshops with Friends called to the same service. This winter Pendle Hill is offering several workshops with experienced leaders on Quaker meeting essentials:

"Claiming Our Peace Testimony," December 5-7, with Mary Lord, former peacebuilding staff for the American Friends Service Committee;

"Recording: Spiritual Discipline and Communal Gift," with Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Friends Mario Cavallini and Sondra Ball;

"Meeting Growth and Revitalization," January 30-February 1 with Deborah Haines (co-sponsored by the Advancement and Outreach Committee of Friends General Conference); and

"Clerking," February 6-8 with Iowa Yearly Meeting (Conservative) clerks Deborah Fisch and Bill Deutsch.

For more information visit www.pendlehill.org or call 1-800-742-3150, ext. 3. Pendle Hill will match grants from meetings to help enable Friends to attend these workshops.

Pendle Hill is a Quaker center for study and contemplation in Wallingford, PA.
