We're glad to welcome Grace Beavin to QVS as a 2019-2020 Boston Fellow!

(She/Her) If you ask where she’s from, Grace Beavin will tell you it’s complicated; but she lived a total of 13 years in Berea, Kentucky and is a member of Berea Friends Meeting. She graduated in May of 2019 from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana with a degree in Spanish and Hispanic Studies and Theatre Arts. At Earlham she was a member of the Quaker Fellows Program. She worked for West Richmond Friends Meeting as a First Day School teacher; she became a leader for the Lightseekers after school program; and her senior year, she was the Sound Board Operator and Sound Engineer for the Richmond Symphony Orchestra. Spring Semester of 2017 she had the opportunity to study abroad for five months in Granada, Spain and in August of 2019 she went with members of the Earlham College Theatre Arts Department to Edinburgh, Scotland to perform a new work, The Misadventures of Martin Hathaway, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Grace loves to sing and play the piano (Billy Joel’s her favorite), she devours fictions of all kinds, dabbles in creative writing, and is learning how to knit. As an autistic woman, she also has a vested interest in autistic self-advocacy, and disability advocacy in general. This year she is beyond thrilled to put her passions and creativity to good use at FriendshipWorks Inc.

Welcome Grace! ...

At Quaker Dinner church there is a shared a meal and singing, queries, conversation, and expectant waiting worship in the manner of Friends (a practice of collective listening for the Still Small Voice of the Divine). The event is a welcoming Christian space: you don’t need to be a Quaker or a Christian to be there and everyone is welcome! During the meal we converse, at our tables, over a set of queries (focused question on which we can reflect), and then extend that conversation to the room in a large group.

Please RSVP HERE - on this form! - for this gathering in Cambridge at the Sherrill Plaza on the Lesley Campus at 89 Brattle St, 02138 on Sunday July 21, 2019 at 5pm. ...

Happy 76th birthday, Jocelyn Bell Burnell (born July 15, 1943)! #Quaker. #Pacifist. Astrophysicist. Astronomer. Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford. In 1967, as a postgraduate student, Jocelyn discovered the first radio pulsars. The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for this discovery, but it didn't go to Jocelyn, it went to her academic supervisor. This omission has been controversial ever since, but Jocelyn herself is philosophical about it, saying "you can actually do extremely well out of not getting a Nobel prize, and I have had so many prizes and honors." President of the Royal Astronomical Society from 2002 to 2004. President of the Institute of Physics from 2008 to 2010. Served as Clerk to the sessions of Britain Yearly Meeting in the mid-1990s. Born in Northern Ireland.
