Podcast: Inside a Conservative Quaker Meeting

 

Thee Quaker Podcast recently visited Marlborough Meeting in Kennet Square, PA. Marlborough Meeting is part of Ohio Yearly Meeting. The podcast steps inside a Conservative Quaker meeting to "witness a commitment to simplicity and integrity that has endured for centuries". It is a nice introduction to Conservative Friends.

Living with Lucky

Several members of Middleton Meeting are reading  Living with Lucky. 

Below is the synopsis that Pendle Hill has posted on their website. Here is the direct link: https://pendlehill.org/product/living-with-lucky/ or click here Living with Lucky

When young Lucille “Lucky” Standing fell in love with spirited Wilford “Wolf” Guindon at the Olney Boarding School in Ohio in 1947, she knew her life would be interesting. She had no idea that within three years they would move to a mountaintop in Costa Rica, start a dairy farm in the middle of the cloud forest, and begin raising their family of eight children in the Quaker community of Monteverde. Over the 75 years that followed, Lucky wrote daily in her diary, shared her unique life with her northern family through regular letters, and contributed her poetry and prose to local publications. She became a renowned artist specializing in pen and ink drawings of the tall strangler fig trees that shade the cow fields and mark the horizon of Monteverde.

Living with Lucky is a memoir created from her writings and musings, starting with the naїve observations of a young mother in a new world and evolving with age to a woman’s wisdom earned through trial and error. This is a book created through experience, struggle, and a singular love of life.

A companion piece to Kay Chornook and Wolf Guindon’s Walking with Wolf (Wandering Words Press, 2008).

Happy Spring!

 Spring has arrived! ⚘

At times we may feel like our lives are like the daffodil in this video taken by one of the members of Middleton Meeting. Crazy. Spinning. Out of control.

If this happens to Thee, remember Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV): 

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Please join us for midweek Meeting on Fifth Day (Thursday) at 3pm and/or on First Day (Sunday) at 10:30am.
