SUMMARY:They Being Dead Yet Speaketh - Marlborough Meeting\, Slavery\, and the Progressive Friends
DESCRIPTION:3:00 PM\, Saturday May 12th\, 2018 \nat the Marlborough Friends Meetinghouse \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the three decades before the Civil War\, Friends were unified in their condemnation of slavery\, but were often very divided on the role of Friends. Some became very active and embraced the anti-slavery society\, others felt that they were called to be separate from the world’s people and were alienated by strong rhetoric as being divisive and not reflecting the peace principles of Friends. Marlborough Meeting was split. The radicals held a series of Marlborough Conferences in the Meetinghouse\, followed by the Marlborough Riot\, and the establishment of the Pennsylvania Yearly Meeting of Progressive Friends in 1853. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome join us for a fascinating talk on an important part of Quaker History. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUntil his recent retirement\, Christopher Densmore was head of Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore College. He is the author of Red Jacket: Iroquois Diplomat and Orator\, co-author of Quaker Crosscurrents: Three Hundred Years of the New York Yearly Meetings and of more than fifty other publications and articles. He has been involved with and played leadership roles in many organizations\, including: Canadian Friends Historical Association\, Conference of Quaker Historians and Archivists\, Pennsylvania Abolition Society and the Friends Historical Association.

SUMMARY:October Quarterly Meeting at London Grove Friends Meeting
DESCRIPTION:London Grove Friends will be hosting Quarterly Meeting on October 21\, 2018\, with a special 200 year anniversary program. \nSchedule:\nRegistration 8:30 – 9:15  am\nChildren’s Program 9:15 – 11:30 am*\nWorship 9:30 – 10:30 am\nProgram: 10:45 – 11:45 am\nLuncheon: Noon – 1 pm\nMeeting for Business* following Lunch \nWe invite Meetings to share responses to the 9th Query–  Grounding for Transformed Lives: Peace and Alternatives to Violence \nAs has happened in the past (starting in 1757)\, Western Quarterly Meeting again will be hosted by London Grove Friends on third first day\, tenth month. As planned by a group of London Grove Friends\, an historical program will be enacted at rise of worship.\nOur first story will dramatize the (true but imaginatively embellished) trans-Atlantic courtship of Sarah Swain and Robert Lamborn. Their story allows us to reflect on the formation of Quaker families\, based on data recorded between 1722 and 1799.\nNext\, we will recall the Battle of the Brandywine. The Peace Testimony caused Western Quarter Friends to stand apart from their neighbors during the Continental Congress’ prosecution of the Revolutionary War.\nOur third dramatization speaks to the variety of opinions of how to end the institution of slavery that roiled monthly meetings in Western Quarter. Read aloud by a scholar of the life and times of Frederick Douglass\, we will learn Douglass’ intentions about a speech he gave on the porch of this meetinghouse in 1844.\nWestern Quarter Friends will not want to miss this program! We also invite interested members of the community (and their children) to join us for worship\, history lessons\, and lunch provided by London Grove Friends. Weather permitting\, there will be pony rides\, so the children can see how Quakers traveled to and from meeting in the 18th and 19th centuries. \n*Calling all children!\nDid you know that we are celebrating a BIG milestone this year? It’s the  200th birthday of the Meeting House at London Grove\, that was specially built to house Western Quarter! Let’s celebrate by creating an old-time festival for all of us to enjoy. We’ll have arts & crafts\, live music\, games\, food\, and a few surprises! We will need lots of  to help put it all together for the grownups\, so come to Quarterly Meeting in October and get ready for fun! \nOne more thing … please ask your grown up to bring along a quart-sized mason jar or large empty yogurt container (with lid). You’ll be making something yummy to take home and share with your family. \n  \n

SUMMARY:April Quarterly Meeting - joint program with Concord Quarter & Wilmington Friends School
DESCRIPTION:April Quarterly Meeting\nWestern AND Concord Quarters at Wilmington Friends School \n(101 School Road\, Wilmington\, DE)\nChildren’s Program (during Meeting for Worship and Afternoon Program for elementary and middle school age Friends) \nchild care available 9-11:45 am and 1-3 pm \n8:45-9 am Sign-In\n9-10:15 am Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business – for each Quarter\n10:30-11:30 am Joint Meeting for Worship\n11:45 am -12:45 pm Lunch for all\n1-3 pm Program by Dr. Amanda Kemp \n5 Steps to Stop Your Implicit Racial Bias\, with Dr. Amanda Kemp\n5 Steps to Stop Your Implicit Bias  \nAbout a year ago Starbucks Cafe closed every store in the nation to provide implicit bias training to its employees. Their training was spurred by an April incident in which employees at a Philadelphia Starbucks store asked the police to remove two black entrepreneurs who were waiting for a business contact. More recently\, Lancaster City Police used a taser on an unarmed Black man who was cooperating. This was caught on video and has spurred action. \nBut what about the everyday indignities\, harms and unconscious biases that go unnoticed and largely unintended? \nDr. Kemp’s Racial Bias Awareness and Prevention Training offers: \n\nTools to have productive conversations about racism;\nWays to recognize and stop actions driven by unconscious bias;\nGreater understanding of institutional racism;\n5 steps to make your businesses\, organizations\, and communities more inclusive and equitable.\n\nNote while this is an introductory workshop in many ways\, participants will be given opportunities to continue learning and practicing skills gained previously. Participants who have engaged in this work regularly will have much to offer those new to the work. It is an opportunity for all participants to expand the ways we know ourselves and each other.   \nRegistrants will be given pre-work to prepare for the presentation. \nRegister here (at Concord Quarterly Meeting event page.) \nWe also recommend the Stop the Hurt 5 Day Challenge or go to www.dramandakemp.com for Dr. Kemp’s book. \nFor more information on Dr. Amanda Kemp\, please check these links:\nFounder of Theatre for Transformation\nWatch “Make America Great Not the Land of Hate Again” Music video\nTEDx Talk “How to Lean into Conversations about Race…”\nwww.dramandakemp.com
