SUMMARY:Friends Historical Association - Stenton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Friends Historical Association’s Annual Spring Event!\nSunday\, May 3 2026 1:00pm \nStenton\, the Logan Family Home\n4601 North 18th Street\, Philadelphia PA 19140 \nClick here to register! \nWe invite you to join us on Sunday\, May 3\, 2026\, at 1:00 PM for our annual spring event! This year\, we will enjoy a guided tour of Stenton\, the Logan Family Home in Philadelphia\, PA. \nParticipants are also welcome to meet for worship at 10:30 AM beforehand\, location TBA. (Please note your interest on the registration form or respond to this email!) \nTo sign up for the 2026 Spring Event\, please register as soon as possible. \n \nFor our spring tour this year\, FHA has arranged a visit to Stenton\, the Logan family home which was completed by James Logan\, William Penn’s secretary\, in 1730. In addition to touring the house\, we will also have a chance to hear from their curator\, Laura Keim\, about Stenton’s ongoing research initiative\, “Wrestling with Justice: Quakers and Northern Slavery.” A transformative Pew-Funded project\, “Wrestling with Justice” reinterprets the site by challenging the misconceptions that slavery existed solely in the American South and that Quakers were universally abolitionists. At Stenton\, the Logan family enslaved\, indentured\, and manumitted people. This exhibit encourages visitors to reflect on the complex history of Quakers and slavery\, and the legacies of this history in the present day. \nParking is available on the Stenton property\, but they are also convenient to SEPTA public transit. If you need a ride or have room in your car\, please indicate that upon registration and we will try to coordinate carpools. Please see their site for directions and additional information\, https://www.stenton.org/visit. \nStenton also invites anyone who wishes to bring a bag lunch to eat on the premises before the scheduled tour at 1:00 PM.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Towards a Quaker History of LGBTQ+ Inclusion and Gay Rights
DESCRIPTION:2023 FRIENDS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING AND LECTURE:\n“TOWARDS A QUAKER HISTORY OF LGBTQ+ INCLUSION AND GAY RIGHTS”\nSaturday\, November 4\, 2023\n11:00am – 1:00pm EDT\nFree – Virtual (registration required) \nSchedule of Events:  \n\n\n11:00 AM Eastern Time / 10:00 AM Central Time / 8:00 AM Pacific Time / 3:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time (show my local time) –\n“Towards a Quaker History of LGBTQ+ Inclusion and Gay Rights” Lecture by Brian Blackmore\, Director of Quaker Engagement at the American Friends Service Committee \n\n\n12:15 PM Eastern Time –\nAnnual FHA Membership Meeting \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\nHeadline from the release of Towards a Quaker View of Sex \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Lecture: \nMany Friends are aware of Towards a Quaker View of Sex (1963)\, the first public and positive evaluation of gay and lesbian sexuality from a religious assembly\, and yet many other important contributions made by Friends to the advancement of gay rights during the middle to late twentieth century are less well known. Additionally\, the efforts to create greater inclusion for LGBTQ+ people in Quaker communities is rarely examined in historical studies of this era. This presentation seeks to stimulate the production of more scholarship on Quakerism and LGBTQ+ people by sharing key findings from over a decade of research. Come hear about the first social service organization for gay people in the United States established by Friends in the late 1940s\, the portrayal of Friends as the first happy gay couple in an American novel\, the important role Friends played in the development of the gay rights movement\, and the evolution of Quaker attitudes towards lesbian\, gay\, and bisexual people in a pivotal period of Quaker history. \nThis event is free but registration is required. A Zoom link will be distributed to all registrants approximately 24 hours in advance of the start of the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\nBrian Blackmore \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nBrian Blackmore is the Director of Quaker Engagement at the American Friends Service Committee. A member of Gainesville Monthly Meeting (SEYM)\, and former Chair of the Religious Studies Department at Westtown School\, Brian recently completed his doctorate at Temple University with a dissertation project focused on the role Quakers played in the American gay rights movement. His research on the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in Quaker communities is featured in The Quaker World (2023). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Meeting: \nFHA Members are encouraged to attend the annual membership meeting. The Board will share updates from the organization’s past year\, and membership will be asked to approve the annual budget and the slate of nominations for Board service. \nREGISTER HERE
