The current version, which was
updated on First Month (January) 16, 2012, describes certain aspects of
Prospect Hill Friends Meeting. A brief, and yet quite complete, description
exists in a brochure distributed to visitors and other interested persons. A
copy of the text within that brochure has been posted as a separate web page
titled About Prospect Hill
Friends Meeting. Prospect Hill Friends Meeting also maintains a small
library. A listing of the library catalog
is also posted; members and attenders of the Meeting are encouraged both to use
the catalog to request to borrow books and also to suggest other appropriate
titles.
Topics at the current site include, but are not
limited to, those in the following list; each is linked to the appropriate
section on this web page:
