Pendle Hill
In 1936, Howard and Anna Brinton, became co-directors at the Pendle Hill religious center in Wallingford, Pennsylvania.
A pen portrait of Pendle Hill in the Brinton period appeared in Time Magazine 21 June 1948. The article indicates the diversity of the students and the variety of their studies.
Brinton used this opportunity to produce over a dozen books and pamphlets dealing with Quakerism. Ironically, one of his most productive writing periods came during World War II, during which he published the widely-used "A Guide to Quaker Practice.". One of his later works, "Friends for 300 Years," was cited by Elizabeth Vining as "one of the great Quaker books of all time."

Famous quotes containing the word hill:
“I remember the scenes of battle in which we stood together. I remember especially that broad and deep grave at the foot of the Resaca hill where we left those gallant comrades who fell in that desperate charge. I remember, through it all, the gallantry, devotion and steadfastness, the high-set patriotism you always exhibited.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
