Communal Living at Penington Friends House
QuakerSpeak
‘Penington Friends House was established by Quakers in New York City who wanted to offer visiting Friends a safe home-like environment, but in the 1980s it transitioned to a communal living model, accommodating people of various faiths—while holding firm to its founders’ Quaker values.’
From Quaker Faith & Practice 2.11
‘…there is a giving and receiving between its members, one helping another with or without words.’
