In spite of Covid-19, I was able to have an enlightening and responsibly-distanced interview in the back courtyard of the Beacon Hill Friends House, in Boston, MA, with Jennifer Higgins-Newman and Nils Klinkenberg, respectively the Program Manager and Executive Director, who are among the 20 or so residents in this community living venture.

You'll be surprised by the variety of spiritual thought and practice within Quakerism, also called The Society of Friends, and you'll be stirred--I believe--by Jen and Nils as they share some of the core beliefs that move them to stillness and move them to action.Originally aired Sunday, September 6, 2020.
