Explore the wisdom, wit and spirit of the Tao Te Ching, an ancient and timeless guide to living in peace and channeling the natural “flow” – or “the Way.” We will base our overview on Stephen Mitchell’s accessible and well-received translation (free copies for lucky participants!), with time to discuss comparisons and contrasts with Quaker values and viewpoints. Amateur seeker Michael Homans will lead and guide this review, and welcomes contributions from others who have insights or experience with the Tao. Kind of like Quakerism, everyone has a right to their own opinion of what the Tao means and whether it is valid – this forum will be a no judgment zone! THis is scheduled after worship services, typically around 11:30AM by Zoom or in person. See the Zoom link on the home page.

Our Climate Action Committee will hold a forum/discussion about what Friends can do to respond to our developing Climate Catastrophe. This will be an opportunity to discuss in groups how we feel about it, and what we are led to do as individuals, as part of the Meeting, and how we expect our country and state to respond. In light of what we know of the many contributing causes of this growing existential problem, we will explore how to find the spirit to respond to this challenge. This will be after worship service, approximately 11:30 AM.

This forum invites all people to connect with nature, using drawing to kinetically engage with our surroundings, fostering meditation and creativity in surprising ways. No prior art experience is necessary. We will be guided through an interactive experience to engage with natural forms outdoors, weather permitting, through sampling of flowers and plants, utilizing specific drawing prompts. Multi-sensory methods of mark-making will provide a vehicle for experiencing nature in new ways, deepening our awareness of our surroundings while using all of the senses. We will come back together to reflect on what we have discovered,in the hybrid in-person and Zoom setting. If joining by Zoom, use the main link on the home webpage.
Materials will be provided. Zoom users will be prompted in advance with a list of simple materials easily found at home.

FCNL has asked Meetings for their input about whether, in light of last year’s Supreme Court decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (overturning Roe v. Wade), reproductive rights should be added to its list of legislative priorities. FCNL has asked that Meetings consider this issue with compassion and respect for all views and offer advice to FCNL. Accordingly, on April 2, we will hold a Forum to determine Radnor’s view on the importance of FCNL’s taking on the issue of reproductive rights. Jerilynn Radcliffe will facilitate this discussion, with the support of the Peace and Social Concerns Committee.
