The FUM email newslet­ter ref­er­enced else­where also has nice pho­tos from memo­r­i­al ser­vices for Eden Grace, a New Eng­land Friend who seemed to effort­less­ly walk between dif­fer­ent fla­vors of Friends, find­ing com­mon­al­i­ty and build­ing con­nec­tions wher­ev­er she went. She is very missed.

In the Philadel­phia Inquir­er, an arti­cle on slave own­ing by Philadel­phia Quak­ers, with sources includ­ing Friends Jour­nal. There’s lot of great links through­out, I’m still mak­ing my way through them. 

On Quak­er­S­peak, a video inter­view of Nic­hole Net­tle­ton, who is a coor­di­na­tor for a sup­port group called Dif­fer­ent­ly Abled Friends and Allies. (I know some folks real­ly don’t like “dif­fer­ent­ly abled” but it’s the name of the group and it’s how Nicole self-identifies in the video.)

And a fas­ci­nat­ing non-Quaker rabbit-hole: a delight­ful­ly obses­sive search for the pur­pose of a seem­ing­ly pur­pose­less pedes­tri­an bridge in Min­neso­ta.
