Pendle Hill’s Reading Group (November)

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 Bridget Moix’s 2023 Stephen G. Cary Memorial Lecture, Forging Beloved Community with Friends: A Journey Through the Refiner’s Fire (PHP #488). How do we “seek that of God in everyone” when we are so deeply polarized? You can purchase a copy of this book at the following links:
