SUMMARY:Gail Dines lecture on The Problems with Pornography in America
DESCRIPTION:As part of her discernment around growing issues and concerns related to the pornography industry in America\, local Friend Christine Reynolds is following her leading to provide ways for the public to become more educated on this topic. The first event in this endeavor will be a lecture by Gail Dines\, PhD\, speaker\, activist and author of Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality. \nThis is a free lecture\, open to the public\, and will be held at the New Garden Township Building\, on February 7th\, at 5:30 pm – reception and discussion to follow. \nLecture Description:   SEX(ISM)\, IDENTITY AND INTIMACY IN A PORNOGRAPHIC CULTURE \nFrom Internet pornography to MTV\, popular culture bombards us with sexualized images of idealized women and men\, and conveys powerful messages that help shape our sexuality. These pictures jump off the screen and into our culture and are now so common place that they seep into our gender identity\, our body image and especially our intimate relationships. The result is not a more liberated\, edgy sexuality\, but a mass produced vision of sex that is profoundly sexist – a vision that limits our ability to create authentic\, equal relationships that are free of violence and degradation. In this powerful multimedia presentation\, Dr. Gail Dines uses examples from pornography\, magazines\, television shows\, and movies to explore how masculinity and femininity are shaped by a consumer-driven\, image-based culture\, and the ways public images spill over into our most private worlds.

Gathering in groups of three couples we continue our conversations with the support of attentive and confidential listening by the other couples. We will have a break for lunch.

SUMMARY:Meetings Converge for Quarterly Meeting\, April 19
DESCRIPTION:Today is our opportunity to Gather as Friends\, who even in our differences seek the same Spirit. The topic for this gathering is:  \nLiving into Friends’ Testimonies — how a small group of Quakers made a big difference recently\, and how we can do the same. \nWest Grove MM invites Friends from throughout the Quarter to join them for Worship at 10 am\, followed by a discussion on Living our Friends’ Testimonies\, led by Gail Newbold. Gail is one of the founders of EQAT (Earth Quaker Action Team)\, a small group of Friends who felt led to respond to uphold the testimony on stewardship of the environment\, and channeled their leading through social activism that has produced real results. We gather to celebrate this success\, as well as learn ways – small and large – we can also “walk the walk”\, living our testimonies as Friends.   \nA simple meal of soup will be provided\, but Friends are invited (and encouraged!) to bring a side or dessert to share. \nThe Children’s Program will begin with Worship and end when lunch is served. \nMeeting for Worship with attention to Western Quarter’s business will follow lunch\, at 1 pm. \nSchedule:\n9:30 am     Coffee & tea \n10 am         Meeting for Worship — Children’s program starts\n11 am         Discussion\n12:15          Lunch (children join their families)\n1 pm          Meeting for Business  — see Agenda here  Draft minutes from last meeting here\n \nClick here for pdf of event flyer
