Subject: Does Pendle Hill Still Serve Quakers?

Your gift to the Annual Fund feeds those roots, allowing us to branch out and serve many in spirit-led work creating peace and justice.

This is the first in a series of five summer messages highlighting the ways that Pendle Hill, like an ancient tree, has a special and valuable role in the world, and how you can help us sustain our community and its work.

Strengthen Quaker Roots and Shoots

Pendle Hill’s programs and publications expand the growing edges of Quaker community-building, practice, and witness. From our clerking workshops, to profound conferences with notable speakers, to our respected pamphlet series, our educational approaches encourage engagement, dialog, skill-building, compassion, insight, new ideas, and faithfulness.

We continue to provide a welcoming space for Quaker organizations to accomplish their work and nourish our intra-faith connections. Read more on Pendle Hill’s educational programs and partnerships that strengthen our Quaker roots.

If you have yet to contribute to the 2017–2018 Annual Fund, please consider a gift before August 31. And help Pendle Hill continue to strengthen the very foundation upon which it was founded.

Thank you!

Subject: Is anything “new” coming out of Pendle Hill?

Yes! Click here to learn how Pendle Hill’s speakers, Pamphlets, workshops, and conferences open new buds of insight and understanding.

For example, in what was to be his last public forum, historian, theologian, and civil rights leader Vincent Harding led a conversation at Pendle Hill about the future. He called for “co-believers, co-workers, co-strugglers, and fellow travelers wherever they are to find spaces where they can explore questions and be prepared to transform themselves and this country as agents of healing.” He added that it was in the best tradition of Pendle Hill to be such a place.

In the time since he presented to us, we have had dozens of people prompt new thoughts and practices.

We are very grateful to all those who have contributed to the 2017 – 2018 Annual Fund so far. You allow opportunities for dialogue and new growth to flourish! If you have not yet contributed to the 2017–2018 Annual Fund, there is still time. We hope you will make your gift before August 31.

Thank you for helping us to continue to encourage essential growth in our hearts, faith groups, and societies.

Subject: Is Pendle Hill doing anything for peace and justice?

Since its founding, Pendle Hill has worked toward nonviolent methods of improving society by creating “peace with justice in the world by transforming lives.”

During wartime in the 1940s, Pendle Hill joined with American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) to provide training to individuals for relief work both home and abroad. As the success of Pendle Hill’s relief work increased, so did our campus, content, and programming. Today, Pendle Hill continues producing and spreading seeds for peace and justice for generations to come. Read more about how Pendle Hill is spreading seeds for peace, justice, and beauty.

Your support of the 2017–2018 Annual Fund help us continue to spread the seeds born and nurtured here into local communities around the globe, where they can sprout and grow. We are grateful for everyone who has made a contribution so far.

If you have not yet contributed to the 2017–2018 Annual Fund, there is still time. We hope you will make your gift before August 31.
