Forum: "Retrospective Justice, William Penn, Continued" Forum: "Retrospective Justice, William Penn, Continued"
–
May 22, 2022Our discussion of the legacy of William Penn was broad and deep. We named the problem and determined the truth about his blind spot regarding owning and trading enslaved Africans. We did not have time to consider making amends as present-day Quakers. We decided this was an important topic to continue and will re-convene May 22, including the pamphlet by Eric Ambler, What is Experiment with Light? as a way to approach difficult subjects. This introductory booklet is available to view or download from Rex Ambler’s Experiment with Light UK website.
