Currently reading up on 18th century #Quaker minister Joshua Evans of #Marlton #SouthJersey. He was an abolitionist, accompanying Woolman down to the Southern colonies to labor with slave-holding Friends there. But he was also a vegetarian, #plain dresser, supporter of a nearby #Lenape population, and all-around Spirit-led person. Here’s an article on his #WarTaxResistance. https://sniggle.net/TPL/index5.php?entry=12May08

Cropwell Meeting’s infrastructure got a big upgrade this week. Thanks to a generous gift from the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Granting Group, the building’s electric was rewired, and fire safety upgrades and security lighting were installed. #Marlton #Southjersey #quakers

A few pictures from the chair yoga program at Cropwell #Quaker Meeting in #Marlton #SouthJersey today. I had to leave part-way through to pick up a scout from a camping trip but I enjoyed the stretching I got to do. https://cropwellquakers.org/feb-5-2023-chair-yoga/

Time to bake a pie for the #Quaker potluck tomorrow. Any #SouthJersey locals who want to try a slice should come to the “Introduction to #Quakerism” class at Cropwell Meeting in #Marlton. Worship at 10, class at 11, potluck to follow. https://cropwellquakers.org/jan-15-2023-introduction-to-quakerism/

I updated yesterday’s wrap-up of a caroling event at Cropwell #Quaker Meeting in #Marlton #NJ. These write-ups aren’t really written for prospective visitors (they can getting FOMO jealousy from Facebook and Instagram) but for other Friends. Cropwell is a old meeting but almost died out and has been reconstituted over the last 15 months. We’re very interested in outreach and these posts are a record of what we’re doing.

The clerk of Cropwell #Quaker Meeting likes to make cutting boards and he gives them to anyone who gives a presentation. I received a #cat one today for the talk on the peace testimony I gave last week. #marlton #nj
