On October 6 and November 3rd the Peace and Social Concerns Committee sponsored two Multicultural Communities Awareness Conversations and Coaching sessions led by Andrea Swinton. The first session provided a framework for participants to powerfully relate in uncomfortable and some common situations.
The second session delved a bit more into past, current and potential situations individuals have and may come across. People shared powerfully and were able to see new ways of approaching real race relations. One reveal was how challenging it is to remain neutral as opposed to being ‘in one camp or the other’. Another reveal was a pathway to opening conversations in relationships takes a commitment to ‘what works’ versus ‘what’s right or wrong’. Both sessions were well attended and well received as being pragmatic, respectful, and useful.

“The produce of the earth is a gift from our great creator to the inhabitants, and to impoverish the earth now to support outward greatness appears to be an injury to the succeeding age.” from John Woolman 1772

Normally Radnor Friends provides a very sizable donation to the Ardmore Food Pantry around the
holidays from our annual cookie walk. However, without our regular charity functions, we can no longer
make a generous gift to our food-deprived neighbors. It is important to note that due to the pandemic plus
a much increased unemployment rate in our area, the need for food is even greater! Therefore, please
consider sending a monthly check or grocery gift card to “The Ardmore Food Pantry” c/o St. Mary’s
Episcopal Church in Ardmore, 36 Ardmore Avenue, Ardmore PA 19003. You can also send money via
the Paypal option on the “Ardmore Food Pantry listing” which is located on the St. Mary’s Episcopal
Church, Ardmore website. It’s very easy! Note: that as the days grow colder, the need for nutritious food
becomes even more acute, for children, unemployed adults as well as elders in our area.
