Pendle Hill, A Place to Be and Become: Reflections on the First Ninety Years
Doug Gwyn, historian of Pendle Hill (Personality and Place: The Life and Times of Pendle Hill, 2014), tells the story of this experimental community, structured around the features of the campus, beginning with the beech tree and ending with New House (so called as of August 2020). The early history of Pendle Hill is entwined with the American Friends Service Committee, providing a base for activism. In the 1960s the focus began to shift to study and contemplation.

With the closing of the resident program in 2014, Pendle Hill moved into an identity yet to be fully envisioned as it looks at the potential for creating a new kind of community in the wake of the pandemic and the worldwide call to grapple with systemic racism. The pamphlet includes a time line and a foreword by Francisco Burgos, newly named executive director of Pendle Hill.

About the Author

Doug Gwyn grew up in the pastoral stream of Friends in Indiana. After experiencing a call to ministry in 1968, he attended Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where he began to know unprogrammed Friends better. Over the years, he has followed his calling into work as a Friends pastor, as a writer for the American Friends Service Committee, and as a teacher at the Quaker study centers Pendle Hill and Woodbrooke. His training in biblical studies has informed his research and writing on early Friends and on current issues among Friends today. Doug has coined the term “bispiritual” to describe Friends like himself who are engaged and nurtured by both pastoral and unprogrammed Friends, in different ways. His wife, Caroline Jones, is a Friend and dharma teacher in the Insight Buddhist tradition.

Doug is the author of the Pendle Hill pamphlet, “But Who Do You Say That I Am?”: Quakers and Christ Today (no. 426). His books include Apocalypse of the Word: The Life and Message of George Fox (1986), The Covenant Crucified: Quakers and the Rise of Capitalism (1995), Seekers Found: Atonement in Early Quaker Experience (2000), Conversation with Christ: Quaker Meditations on the Gospel of John (2011), A Sustainable Life: Quaker Faith and Practice in the Renewal of Creation (2014), and Personality and Place: The Life and Times of Pendle Hill (2014).
