Quaker engaged with both history and the future. Scholar in Residence in 2026 at Pendle Hill in Wallingford, Pennsylvania
I will be the Kenneth L Carroll Scholar in residence at Pendle Hill in the Spring of 2026.
This is a great honor especially because I knew Ken (1924-2021) at Third Haven Friends Meeting and visited him in Easton, MD several times in 2019 before COVID made that no longer possible.

Did you see last week's article on the Black men and women who challenged colonial Quakers to acknowledge the sinfulness of participating in the slave economy? Here's the author, @jimfussell.bsky.social, sharing the story of two enslaved women for whom angry words were not enough.

For too long, the story of Quaker abolition has been told as one of conscience, but it was Black resistance that forced the Religious Society of Friends to confront its deepest contradictions.
