Constitution Series — West Grove Friends

From Alyce Denver, Clerk of West Grove Monthly Meeting:

I think we all can agree that since the November election issues of governance and interpretations of the Constitution have been a source of much conversation.
To help answer some of our questions, West Grove Meeting is going to host a series of evenings during which we will explore a few of the topics found in the Constitution that seem especially pertinent. We have invited Andrew Atkinson, a teacher of history and civics in the Avon Grove High School, to provide background information, some of the varying ways of interpretation and to answer our questions.
The series will run on the four consecutive Thursdays in May. Each evening will begin at 7:00. The series is free and open to the public. Spread the word!
