| On Friday evening, Feb. 9, 2007, Anna Crumley-Effinger, below, an Earlham senior, presented her paper on Indiana Yearly Meeting church architecture. Her focus was on the Winchester Friends Meetinghouse and its history. Winchester Friends is the oldest church building in Winchester, and built in 1898, was one of the first Indiana Yearly Meeting meetinghouses to change from the traditional Quaker architecture to a building with a focus on a platform and Sunday School classrooms that flow into the worship area.
An old fashioned church dinner was recreated for the evening, using as the source a newspaper article reporting on a meal served by the Ladies Aid Society of Winchester Friends in March of 1905. For the menu.....check Pam's blog. |
