SUMMARY:West Grove's authors
DESCRIPTION:1:00 – 3:00   Welcome three local authors for a book signing: \nMel Leaman\, Susan Scott\, and Lassiter Williams (represented by Regent Street Press)\n    All three are ‘our own’!  \nRefreshments will be served while you chat with the authors and buy their books!\n\n\nHonest with God: Reflections on Faith and Doubt by Mel Leaman\n“Honest to God\, isn’t there anyone else out there who shares my experiences of faith and doubt\, who honors both and denies neither one? Isn’t there a kind of integrity that cannot be captured by retrospective\, calm reflection after the battle\, but drives the desperate scribblings of the one in the foxhole” (p. 10). Using prose\, poetry\, and prayers a former pastor\, writing from the foxhole offers a rare and vulnerable account of his spiritual sojourn. This is not a story of success\, or a step-by-step devotional bound to a pre-determined response\, but an open-ended journey for both the author and the reader.\n\n\n\nStill Praying After All These Years by Susan Scott\n\n\n\nPeople in their later years face many changes\, some not of their own choosing. Still Praying After All These Years offers 52 compelling meditations that invite readers to discover fresh meaning in maturity and embrace opportunities for spiritual growth offered by aging.  Each meditation begins with a concern\, question\, or insight expressed in the author’s pastoral conversations with people ages 75-100. Chaplain Scott provides psychological and theological insights\, welcoming doubt\, mystery\, and the emotions that accompany aging. She invites readers to practice their faith by reflecting on some aspect of their life or undertaking an action. A brief prayer ends each meditation. \n  \n\nThis book will help older readers feel less alone as they hear the thoughts of others who have walked a similar path. Readers who are in caregiving roles with older persons will have their empathy kindled for the spiritual\, emotional\, and other challenges faced by the aged. The book is also an excellent resource for those who minister with the elderly and a stimulating springboard for group discussion by seniors.\n\n\nThe Rage by Lassiter Williams is a young adult fantasy following 15-year-old warrior\, Trip\, as she recognizes the futility of violence as she gropes for a path to healing.

FGC means a lot to me and my family\, and I’d like to help Friends get to know more about what the organization has to offer.

I would love to have you join us so we could hear your response to this vision. Barry Crossno\, FGC General Secretary\, will be here to present the proposed plans. We will be offering light refreshments.\nI invite you to attend this meeting which is important for Friends General Conference. Will you be able to attend? Please let me know.

SUMMARY:Katharine Gerbner at Haverford College
DESCRIPTION:Quakers and Slavery in the Seventeenth Century\nCHS 104 Chase Auditorium\n370 Lancaster Ave\nHaverford\, PA 19041\nContact: Susan Penn spenn@haverford.edu\n  \nHaverford College’s distinguished visitor Katharine Gerbner\, McKnight Land-Grant Professor\, University of Minnesota will be giving a talk about her research on Quakers and slavery. \nEighteenth-century Quakers were leaders of the abolitionist movement\, but many seventeenth-century Quakers were slave owners. \nIn Pennsylvania\, William Penn was a slave-holder\, and leading English Quakers used their connections to Friends in Barbados to import enslaved men and women. \nProfessor Gerbner’s talk will examine how these seventeenth-century Quakers reconciled slavery with their peace testimony. I will end by asking what it means to truly reckon with the history of Quaker slave-holding today. \nThe talk is sponsored by the Quaker Studies Working Group\, and the Department of Religion in conjunction with the Distinguished Visitors Program.

SUMMARY:PYM Young Friends
DESCRIPTION:This program is an experiment\, speaking to the interest in service and witness expressed by Young Friends last spring at Continuing Sessions. YSOP is an amazing organization! Learn more about them at www.ysop.org. \n– The cost is the same as other Young Friends weekends\, thanks to support for the Youth Programs in the PYM budget. Scholarship is available\, as always! Do not let cost keep you from participating. ALL costs are included in the registration — travel\, meals\, and YSOP program fee. \n– Youth interested in participating should be prepared to travel to Philadelphia on Friday so that we can make the trip to NYC before the opening program begins with YSOP. You will need to leave school early and meet in Philly to catch a 1:00pm bus at the Greyhound Station.Travel costs will be covered by the Young Friends Program. We understand this impacts a school day!  It’s a holiday weekend\, and many people have Monday off from school and work\, which is why we chose this weekend. We will return to Philadelphia by 4:00pm on Sunday. \n“YSOP engages youth in meaningful service experiences through an innovative program that combines an orientation to the issues\, hands on volunteer work and reflection. YSOP is a Quaker organization\, grounded in Quaker values of respect for each individual\, simplicity and service. Our programs are non-sectarian. We welcome people of every faith and belief system\, including people who don’t ascribe to any faith.”  \n\nFollowing the opening program and dinner\, Youth\, Young Friends staff\, and Adult Friendly Presences will spend Friday night at 15th Street Meeting in lower Manhattan. The YSOP program continues on Saturday\, and Saturday night we will gather at Brooklyn Meeting with the opportunity to meet Young Friends in NYYM. We will worship at Brooklyn Meeting on Sunday morning before traveling back to Philadelphia.\n\nRegistration will be limited to 15 youth. If you have questions get in touch with Melinda Winner Bradley\, mwennerbradly@pym.org. \nFor more and to register\, click here\n

SUMMARY:PYM Worship & Care
DESCRIPTION:Institutional Assessment on Institutional Racism\nPresented by Vanessa Juyle\, The Institutional Assessment is a direct response to the events at the 2016 Gathering that encapsulates the long history of lived experience of People of Color of systemic racism among Friends. A similar assessment focused on Indigenous Peoples\, classism\, ageism\, and disability is encouraged in the future. We hope the results of this assessment may inform FGC’s inclusion of Friends from all communities.\nYou can read the full Institutional Assessment on Systemic Racism within Friends General Conference report here: https://www.fgcquaker.org/sites/default/files/attachments/IA%20Task%20Force%20report%20-%20final.pdf\n
