At the Site

Friends (Quakers) and Christmas - This is not a new article, but it is one of primarily seasonal interest. In addition to the article itself, it connects to several pages collected from comments from many Quakers of what they do and think about Christmas, reflecting the variety among Quakers today.

Quaker Art Prints - miniatures of a number of art prints, linking to larger images (where you can purchase them, if interested, but you can also just look). Right now, all the prints are of paintings by Edward Hicks, because these are what are readily available. I've added a little background on Edward Hicks.
