Pendle Hill’s Reading Group (May)

Our Reading Group focuses on Pendle Hill pamphlets and other Quaker readings, gathering to consider queries about the reading in a spirit of worship sharing.

This month, we will read Chel Avery’s Pendle Hill pamphlet on the spiritual discipline of truth-telling, Trying to Be Truthful (PHP #455), offering reflections on the nature of truth, an exploration of the particular importance of Truth to Quakers, and Chel’s own practical wisdom on how we can endeavor to live a truthful and integrous life. You can purchase copies of this popular publication at the following links:
