All Radnor members and attenders are warmly encouraged to attend our March 10, 2018 annual retreat which will support the building of our Radnor community. This year’s topic helps us explore what Quakers believe today. Led by PYM’s George Schaeffer, this all-day retreat will include time for discussing and sharing our thoughts with other Radnor people in small groups as well as some content presentation by George. Plan to arrive at 8:30 am for coffee. The retreat will begin at 9 am and end at 2 pm. Lunch and snacks will be provided, but additional food contributions will be welcome. A sign-up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board or you may call Joanne Kettelle or Letty Lee Dahme. How about inviting another Radnor person to attend with you?
Dr. Sa’ed Atshan will be speaking with us about the history of the Ramallah Friends School and the Ramallah Friends Meeting which he attended as a student. RFS is an important Quaker institution on the West Bank, and was founded in 1869. Sa’ed’s perspective as a former student of RFS, Quaker and professor of peace studies will complement last year’s forum presented by Rebecca Mays, a former teacher at the school. Sa’ed is an Assistant Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies at Swarthmore College, and has worked for the American Civil Liberties Union, the UN High Commission on Refugees, Human Rights Watch, Seeds of Peace, the Palestinian Negotiations Affairs Department, and the Government of Dubai. Dr. Atshan is a Quaker who grew up in Palestine, attended Westtown School, graduated from Ramallah Friends School, and is also an LGBTQ rights activist.
Ecological destruction, income inequality and racial injustice are not isolated concerns. They are systematically interconnected, rooted in the adaptive failure of our growth-based economic system.
This gathering offers a broader context for your witness and also offers a sense of common purpose to our distinctive leadings. This session will include 30 minutes of video with approx. 40 minutes of breaks for worship sharing or discussion to address our 4 queries.
