The Burial and Memorial Committee will hold a forum focused on current guidelines at Radnor and also regarding “green” burials and how our community might revise Radnor’s guidelines for our cemetary in consideration of this interest. March 5th at 11:15 AM in the Meetinghouse.
Working with Temple University – Engineers Without Borders (EWB), fellow Quaker Christopher Fantozzi is currently working on an important sanitation project for the small indigenous community of Nueva Jerusalen, Ecuador. The community has no sewage facilities and is forced to rely solely on open defecation, which is causing contamination of the nearby stream and river they use as their drinking water source. The Temple team is evaluating several options including the installation of compost toilets in each home, which would be a sustainable, appropriate technology that could significantly improve the quality of life of the entire community.
All of these efforts are completely volunteer based and funded, and additional financing is greatly needed to cover the project’s costs for travel and materials. Please consider supporting these efforts with a tax-deductible donation if you are able.
For more information, please contact Christopher Fantozzi at: [email protected]

Dr. Meg Lytton and Winnie Shaw Hope LCSW are aware of interest in a Quarter wide Caregiver Support Group. This can include discussion of feelings, sharing of information and possible speakers. To start, we want to get a sense of the range of interests. To this end, we are planning two hybrid sessions to gain a sense of how to move forward. We will have the following questions as a springboard for discussion:
We will hold the first session 2 sessions: Tuesday February 14 at 12:30 PM and Wednesday February 15 at 7:30 PM in person at Haverford Meeting Forum Room or by zoom (link below). Please contact Winnie Shaw Hope at [email protected] if interested. We also recognize when you are in the midst of care giving, you cannot always plan ahead nor keep to commitments. If you are at all interested in the formation of this group but cannot attend those times, please reach out to Winnie Shaw Hope at the contacts given above.

Radnor has selected our next book! We’ll be reading “Sing, Unburied, Sing,” by Jesmyn Ward, winner of the National Book Award for 2017. This novel, which offers an intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle, journeys through Mississippi’s past and present, examining truths at the heart of the American story and the power—and limitations—of family bonds.
Please join us for the return of our traditional Christmas Eve caroling at 5PM in the Meetinghouse.
