We are excited to announce the hire of our new Director of Education, Steve Chase.
Steve, our 2013 Cary lecturer, is a member of the Putney Friends Meeting in Vermont, a traveling Friends minister focused on both Quaker Quest and answering God’s call to heal and repair the world, and the author of Letters to a Fellow Seeker: A Short Introduction to the Quaker Way. For the last 13 years, Steve has been the Educational Director of Antioch University New England’s environmental studies master’s program in Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability.
Steve is also the author of numerous articles on faith, social activism, environmental justice, sustainability, and the Transition Movement, including an essay on the Transition Movement in the 2014 book, Achieving Sustainability: Visions, Principles, and Practices. He has also published frequently in Friends Journal, as well as written pieces for Quaker Life, Western Friend, BeFriending Creation, and Sojourners. He is currently co-writing a booklet for the Quaker Institute for the Future entitled Creating Beloved Communities: A Primer on the Transition Town Movement for People of Faith.
Steve will begin work with Pendle Hill on October 1st. We look forward to welcoming him and his partner Katy Locke into our community!
