SUMMARY:This Monstrous Law! Robert and Harriet Purvis and the Fugitive Slave Act
DESCRIPTION:he Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia and Millicent Sparks Productions invite the public to witness a performance that portrays three legendary Philadelphians from the city’s rich 19th-century Black history.   \nThis Monstrous Law! Robert and Harriet Purvis and the Fugitive Slave Act is a recreation of a historic protest of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law\, which compelled everyday citizens to assist in capturing enslaved people seeking their freedom. Living history performers portray abolitionists Robert Purvis and Harriet Forten Purvis\, who boldly responded to the inhumane law by rallying local citizens to defy it. A portrayal of celebrated concert singer Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield\, “The Black Swan\,” lends melodic power to the production.

SUMMARY:Playing in the Light: Godly Play/Faith & Play Training for Friends
DESCRIPTION:This weekend workshop shares an approach to religious education grounded in deep respect for children\, using wonder\, play\, and stories from the Bible and Quaker faith\, practice\, and witness. More than a workshop on storytelling\, “Playing in the Light” is also an opportunity to gather in community and consider how we approach spiritual formation and support for children and families in our meetings. The experiential approach has tools that can be used with other resources\, and meetings are finding ways that the stories can anchor intergenerational worship. Those who have previously attended a training will find they go deeper in their practice. And for some Friends\, the weekend is a personal spiritual retreat more than preparation for service to a religious education program. Come spend a weekend full of stories\, centering children and welcoming all of us into a bigger story of faith in community! \n \nPresentations/discussions include: \n\nnurturing the spiritual lives of children\nexploring the “unspoken” lessons of spaces and pedagogy\nsupporting children and families in the meeting community\nworking with multiage groups and diverse needs\nadapting Godly Play for Friends and weaving stories into a children’s program
