Allagash Wilderness Waterway, Maine: Friends Meeting at Cambridge Guest Room Information - Would anyone in Cambridge MA today like to join this Quaker meeting Friends' 'sit-in' Quaker Sit (traveling inwardly in a kind of meditation)? (Would love to see friends / Friends - Charlie (Nesson), Karen (Brennan), Dick (Robb MD?), Larry (Lessig)?) * Harvard ARDD sessions run from 1-3, in two locations (and now accessible via live streaming on Zoom), and so I may attend the Quaker Sit in Divinity Chapel - re the divine esp??? - depart a little before 1 into the Harvard Divinity School library or similar, and watch the sessions, orienting myself to the 2 sets / streams of talks (over the next 3 days), in The Canopy in the Harvard Tree House, and in Cedar Grove. Harvard (& Haverford) professor Henry Cadbury was Hollis Professor of Divinity, which professorship is in the Harvard Divinity School to this day, and am curious what he professed at Harvard e.g. which led to the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Friends. He accepted the Nobel Peace prize on behalf of American Quakers, and the American Friends Service Committee in 1947, (with I think possibly Margaret Backhouse accepting it on behalf of British Friends Service Council). The Nobel Peace Prize for Quakers' address is one of the most inspiring Quaker writings I've known in the past: * "Award ceremony speech Presentation Speech by Gunnar Jahn, Chairman of the Nobel Committee The Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament has awarded this year’s Peace Prize to the Quakers, represented by their two great relief organizations, the Friends Service Council in London and the American Friends Service Committee in Philadelphia." https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/1947/ceremony-speech/. Searched on 'where did Harvard prof Henry Cadbury AFSC Nobel prize go to Quaker Meeting in Cambridge MA?' https://share.google/aimode/Lc0NCoii6xV9LVbMs And it was here at Friends Meeting at Cambridge ... but one can't go inside yet in Google Street View with time slider yet, I think, just as one can't go on property at Harbin Hot Springs virtually yet either - eg here: ~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~), it seems, that he would have sat in Friendly Quaker silent meditation on occasion
