To the Editor:

The Members of Princeton Friends (Quaker) Meeting were pleased to see the Town Topics front-page story about our school [“Renovation of Schoolmaster’s House Helps Remind PFS of Its Quaker Roots,” Nov. 30]. An important aspect of the story, however, was missing.

The reference to our “historic Meetinghouse” overlooked the fact that we are an active, vibrant religious community. With over 250 members, numerous attendees, and scores of frequent visitors, we hold meetings for worship at 9 and 11 every Sunday morning throughout the year. We are far from an historic site, but rather a religious body of which the Princeton Friends School is an offspring.

Anyone who is interested in experiencing our form of worship and in learning more about the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, and equality is welcome to join us at any Sunday morning in our beautiful 18th-century Meetinghouse.

In Friendship,

Sally Oppenheimer
