SUMMARY:Silent Witness Signs of Fascism
DESCRIPTION:As Friends are aware – the Nation is again under increasing threat of a full loss of Democracy and a slide into Authoritarianism and Fascism. Silent Witness Events are occurring Nationwide. Silent Witnesses are spiritual and educative and peaceful to the core. They are not protests or “demonstrations” rather they are spiritual witness – using our own lives and bodies to say “we see” we witness the signs of fascism occurring around us now. For those with interest in learning more and considering participating in such witness in Northern Delaware and Eastern most Pennsylvania you may contact Ken Brick – kenbrick@verizon.net

SUMMARY:The Quaker Composting Service (QCS) Webinar!
DESCRIPTION:The Quaker Composting Service (QCS): An Opportunity to Create a PYM Commercial-scale Composting Service to Meet our goal for net zero by 2030\nSeptember 23. 7:00 to 8:30 PM\nThe Eco-Justice Collaborative (EJC) is sponsoring a webinar on an opportunity to create a PYM commercial -scale composting service to meet our goal for net zero by 2030.\nRSVP Here \nor copy and paste this link: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/PYMEvents/event/collaborative-webinar-compostingnetwork/ \nWho would be involved? \nEach PYM friend has an as-yet untapped ability to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Each Quaker meeting\, school\, and facility will be asked to participate\, be trained\, and receive quarterly reports on the amount of GHG savings they have contributed towards PYM’s goals. \nWhat is it?  \nComposting our food scraps on a commercial level\, including meat\, dairy\, oils\, paper\, etc.\, from Meetings and Quaker facilities across the region. \nWhere? When? \nWe are now at Phase 3 of the climate action plan. During 2024 Continuing Sessions\, PYM approved a Climate Witness with three phases— \n1) Measure PYM’s GHG output; 2) Identify Carbon Emission Reduction Strategies\, and; 3) Invite monthly meetings to strive to reach 50% carbon reduction for members and meetings. Phases 1 and 2 have been marked “Completed” by PYM as of December 2025. It is now time to work on Phase 3. \nHow? Why? \nPYM meetings and schools will be asked to participate. For example\, school cafeterias at Quaker schools could begin diverting left-over and unwanted foods at scale. Next\, each meeting will have the opportunity to Families each will do at home and weekly bring to the meeting to put in one larger garbage tote\, which is the emptied 1x week \nWe have been called by PYM to reduce our meetings’ and families’ GHG output by 50%. Notably\, the findings from Phase 1 and 2 (identifying our GHG sources and reduction strategies)\, found that we have saved “0.0” metric tons of GHG by composting. This network will change that zero-value. For example\, one suburban Philadelphia school district saved $4\,000/year and eliminated 31 tons of GHG by adopting cafeteria composting at its two high schools. \nThis webinar will give attendees the knowledge\, opportunity\, and tools to expand their environmental activism at home and in the community while helping PYM meet its goals for reduced carbon output from Friends organizations and activities.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Family: The Biddles and American Independence
DESCRIPTION:Arch Street Meeting House and Andalusia Historic House\, Gardens & Arboretum are excited to partner on a special program highlighting Andalusia’s current exhibition Revolutionary Family: The Biddles & American Independence. \nEnjoy a screening of engaging documentary videos on the Biddle family and the Revolution\, followed by a conversation and audience questions. A light reception will precede the program.‍ ‍ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRevolutionary Family presents historic objects\, artwork\, and manuscripts to explore the influential roles that Biddle family members played during the Revolution. Four short-format documentary videos complement the exhibition\, illuminating the experiences of nine Revolutionary-era Biddle family members and their stories of bravery\, loss\, ingenuity\, love\, and friendship: Mary Scull Biddle\, matriarch and map editor\, and her son John Biddle\, surveyor and exiled loyalist; Colonel Clement and Rebekah Biddle\, a devoted Quaker couple at camp; Captains Nicholas and Charles Biddle\, brothers at sea; and Edward\, James\, and Owen Biddle\, leaders of Revolutionary thought and action. Owen’s son\, architect Owen Jr.\, later designed Arch Street Meeting House. \nThe documentary videos feature subject matter experts from Andalusia and many other Philadelphia-area institutions\, including the American Philosophical Society\, Carpenters’ Hall\, Independence Seaport Museum\, and Philadelphia Museum of Art. After the screenings\, Andalusia Executive Director John Vick and Research Assistant Brie Stoltzfus will join Arch Street Meeting House Executive Director Sean Connolly for a conversation about the project and its themes of family life during this fascinating\, yet challenging\, moment in American history. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRevolutionary Family: The Biddles & American Independence is on display through November 13\, 2026\, at Andalusia Historic House\, Gardens & Arboretum. \nA 50-acre site located on the Delaware River in Bensalem\, Pennsylvania\, Andalusia was first established in 1795 by Philadelphia merchant John Craig\, then later expanded into a Greek Revival estate by his son-in-law Nicholas Biddle. Today\, Andalusia stewards the Biddle family’s history and legacy through tours of the historic house museum and access to its spectacular gardens. Visit AndalusiaPA.org for more information on the exhibition and site.

SUMMARY:Elements of Quakerism: Training the Facilitators
DESCRIPTION:A seven-week online course on learning and teaching the fundamental elements of Quaker faith and practice  \nThis compelling seven-week course explores the spiritual roots of Quaker faith and practice. The syllabus has a broad audience\, but this unique cohort invites experienced Friends to both participate in the course and learn how to facilitate it in their own style in their own Meetings.  \nThe course is text-based. Each week there is up to about an hour and a half of reading to do before the class. In class\, we will discuss how the ideas in the materials might relate to our own spiritual experiences. Most materials are available to you online. The others are five Pendle Hill Pamphlets that we strongly encourage participants to obtain\, either by borrowing your Meeting library or by purchasing from Pendle Hill. \nThe number of participants is limited to 10\, so that people can get to know and trust each other and share about their own experiences and understandings. Due to the limited size\, we encourage Friends to coordinate with your Meeting and select a single Friend from your Meeting to participate and bring this resource back to your community.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion – A Tender Time: Quaker Voices on the End of Life
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 29\, 2026 | 7:00 PM 8:30 PM | on Zoom \nAre you thinking about your own aging or accompanying a family member\, friend or meeting member as they journey through aging to dying? Are you wondering what Friends have to say about these stages? \nWe will explore one chapter at each session; this session will focus on Chapter 3: Gifting the Future. \nYou can attend all 6 or just the ones that speak to you. Sessions will be on Zoom to be more accessible. \n“From the Baltimore Yearly Meeting’s End of Life Working Group\, A Tender Time is a unique collection of Quaker voices\, historical and contemporary\, that explores practical\, emotional\, and spiritual aspects of aging and dying well. It moves in widening circles\, from aging to dying\, and from primary caregiver to friends to the whole faith community. It illustrates how individual Friends make end of life decisions guided by the Spirit and Quaker values.” (Pendle Hill Bookstore description) \nLearn more at https://www.quakersbucks.org/events/book-discussion-a-tender-time-quaker-voices-on-the-end-of-life-sep-2026

SUMMARY:Embodied Quakerism & Continuing Revelation
DESCRIPTION:An experiential online workshop on World Quaker Day exploring body-based early Quaker practices with Katy Hawkins.  \nThis online workshop explores a longing among contemporary Friends to revitalize the radically embodied culture of the early Quaker movement. We will begin with the briefest of historical introductions\, describing the body-based practices of First-generation Friends (resources will be shared for further independent study). Then we will get down to the business of experimenting with current forms of Embodied Quakerism that reimagine old practices — like Quaker chanting\, prayerful body positioning\, and hands-on healing. After being guided through these practices\, Friends will gather in small break-out groups to share their own corporeal experiences with Spirit\, and/or encounters with other Quakers who might be discovering emergent forms of embodiment that bring something entirely new. Reconvening in the big group\, we’ll have some time to exchange ideas and resources for deepening.  We will close with a period of worship where together we commit to opening our whole selves to how Spirit might want to move through — not just in familiar ways\, but perhaps in radically new/old ones.

SUMMARY:Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) for Justice and Peace workshop series comes to North America! 
DESCRIPTION:Friends Peace Teams looks forward to sharing practices that people around the world have found essential in working for just\, peaceful homes\, communities\, and societies. This workshop starts with the AVP Basic workshop\, so newcomers are welcome. We build on that legacy integrating trauma healing\, liberation from oppression\, and seeking a consensus of love and conscience\, so experienced facilitators may deepen their practice as well. \nJoin us! \n\n\nJanesville\, MN on October 7-12\, 2026\, an hour south of Minneapolis-St Paul \n\n\nhttps://friendspeaceteams.org/upcoming-justice-peace-workshops/ \n\n\nCebu\, Philippines on October 13-22\, 2026\, at Mayâ Learning Space on Bantayan Island \n\n\nhttps://friendspeaceteams.org/event-2026-regional-justice-peace/ \n\n\nLatin America\, upcoming workshop in Dec 2026 \n\n\nArmenia and Ukraine\, upcoming workshops in 2027 \n\n\nLimited space\, so register early. Sign up for e-news or follow us on Facebook. \nCome and get to know other engaged Friends and connect to a global network of Quaker justice and peace work. People curious about or new to Friends Peace Teams\, as volunteers or Yearly Meeting Representatives\, will find this a great orientation to how we work with one another in community. \nSupport a younger person – teens through adults. Many find this a formative\, transformative experience. Consider attending in teams of two or more to better bring the insights\, practices\, or workshops back to your community. \nAVP facilitators see a sample agenda on the AVP for Justice and Peace website page: https://friendspeaceteams.org/avp-justice-peace/. Each session links to a video playlist demonstrating instructions for each exercise\, and we are currently adding written instructions for each exercise as well. \nThe founders of the Alternatives to Violence Project believed that people learned nonviolence best by experiencing it in community. At this workshop\, we cook\, eat\, clean\, learn\, reflect\, work\, and play together\, practicing the skills we need in a just\, peaceful society. For some this is ordinary; for others it is rare or totally new. A recent book\, Unforgiving Places\, identifies the roots of gun violence deaths in the United States as primarily occurring where people lack methods or examples of how to address and resolve conflict. Nonviolence is a practice. We have great nonviolent tools and skills for resisting and interrupting violence and oppression and creating just\, peaceful communities; but we all need to practice! \nWant to learn more about Friends’ witness to justice and peace in the world? Join us!!

SUMMARY:Experiment with Light
DESCRIPTION:A four-part online series exploring early Quaker contemplative practices for spiritual growth.  \nThe “Experiment with Light” is a practice of opening to new possibilities by exploring what it means to “wait in the Light” as early Quakers did. Quaker scholar Rex Ambler put together a prompted meditation based on his studies of early Quaker worship. There are now “Light groups” meeting on a regular basis all over the world.  \nAfter the light illuminates a situation or aspect of ourselves\, accepting what is shown to us brings eventual transformation of our hearts and our lives. We become more peaceful\, joyful\, compassionate\, and loving.    \nThis series is designed both for those experienced with the practice and those who are new to it. We will share introductory materials in advance of the sessions. In our time together\, we will do the meditation\, spend individual time contemplating the messages received (which can include journaling or drawing)\, and share together in small and large groups. Through our four weeks together\, we will become a community of support\, sustenance\, and growth. The final session will include time to share with each other practices for bringing the Experiment into our communities.

DESCRIPTION:A participatory conversation with Anton Flores-Maisonet about his book\, Welcome\, Friends: Stories of Hope and Hospitality with Immigrants. \nWelcome\, Friends is a book shaped by open doors\, shared meals\, late-night tears\, and the unshakable belief that love crosses borders. \nIn these pages\, Anton Flores-Maisonet weaves powerful stories of welcoming immigrants – from the grief-soaked silence of detention centers and immigration courts to the everyday grace of a welcome table set for strangers who become friends. With the clarity of a social worker\, the tenderness of a father\, and the conviction of a faith-rooted activist\, Anton invites us into the sacred work of radical hospitality. \nThese stories are not just about immigrants – they are about all of us: our fears\, our hopes\, and our shared call to build a more beautiful world\, one guest at a time. \nReading the book in advance is warmly invited but not expected. This program follows the author’s Cary Memorial Lecture.

SUMMARY:Experiment with Light
DESCRIPTION:A four-part online series exploring early Quaker contemplative practices for spiritual growth.  \nThe “Experiment with Light” is a practice of opening to new possibilities by exploring what it means to “wait in the Light” as early Quakers did. Quaker scholar Rex Ambler put together a prompted meditation based on his studies of early Quaker worship. There are now “Light groups” meeting on a regular basis all over the world.  \nAfter the light illuminates a situation or aspect of ourselves\, accepting what is shown to us brings eventual transformation of our hearts and our lives. We become more peaceful\, joyful\, compassionate\, and loving.    \nThis series is designed both for those experienced with the practice and those who are new to it. We will share introductory materials in advance of the sessions. In our time together\, we will do the meditation\, spend individual time contemplating the messages received (which can include journaling or drawing)\, and share together in small and large groups. Through our four weeks together\, we will become a community of support\, sustenance\, and growth. The final session will include time to share with each other practices for bringing the Experiment into our communities.

SUMMARY:Elements of Quakerism: Training the Facilitators
DESCRIPTION:A seven-week online course on learning and teaching the fundamental elements of Quaker faith and practice  \nThis compelling seven-week course explores the spiritual roots of Quaker faith and practice. The syllabus has a broad audience\, but this unique cohort invites experienced Friends to both participate in the course and learn how to facilitate it in their own style in their own Meetings.  \nThe course is text-based. Each week there is up to about an hour and a half of reading to do before the class. In class\, we will discuss how the ideas in the materials might relate to our own spiritual experiences. Most materials are available to you online. The others are five Pendle Hill Pamphlets that we strongly encourage participants to obtain\, either by borrowing your Meeting library or by purchasing from Pendle Hill. \nThe number of participants is limited to 10\, so that people can get to know and trust each other and share about their own experiences and understandings. Due to the limited size\, we encourage Friends to coordinate with your Meeting and select a single Friend from your Meeting to participate and bring this resource back to your community.
