| Earlham School of Religion: 2026 Perkins Family Lecture Series |
| The Oversight Committee for the Ministry of Noah Bishop Merrill, appointed by Putney Friends Meeting, invites Friends to join us in holding Noah in prayer as he prepares to speak in the Perkins Family Lecture Series at Earlham School of Religion this spring. Noah’s ministry extends beyond his role as Secretary of NEYM, and our committee felt led to invite Friends to join us both in prayer and, if they are able, in attending the lecture online. Friends may also wish to gather in their local meetings to experience Noah’s ministry together as it is streamed online, and to reflect together afterward. 2026 Perkins Family Lecture Series: “For the Sake of the Joy: Meetings, Pilgrimage, and the Re-Olding of Quakerism”, Noah Bishop Merrill, Putney Friends Meeting of New England Yearly Meeting.
