Pendle Hill Welcomes 22 new students

This Fall 22 students have enrolled in Pendle Hill's Resident Program for 11 weeks of worship, work, study and service in a Quaker community.  They come from South Africa, Korea, Malawi, Australia, Canada and Kenya as well as many states in the US, including Illinois, Virginia, Washington, Minnesota and Florida.  Their reasons for coming to Pendle Hill are diverse, and include: "I will be focused on the arts and spirituality and the arts and activism"; "I am hoping to grow a great deal in my faith at Pendle Hill and to prepare myself spiritually, emotionally and physically to return to Latin America";"it is my vision to help in creating intentional community centered around nourishing/nurturing children in their quest for wholeness"; and "I have committed my gift of making music to the service of Friends, which will be my focus while at Pendle Hill."  Some students will study at Pendle Hill for one term, while others are planning to stay for a year.  For more information on Pendle Hill's Resident Program click here .
