Pendle Hill is presented as an institutional center for Quaker life and retreat, significant as a shared project of Douglas Steere and Rufus Jones. The book identifies its purpose and founders but gives no further account of its physical setting or activities.

Quaker Resource and Retreat Center

Pendle Hill is described as both an important resource for Quaker life and a retreat center. These paired functions place it within the practical and contemplative dimensions of Quaker religious life, though the account does not specify programs or particular practices conducted there.

Founding and Significance

Douglas Steere and Rufus Jones were active in founding Pendle Hill. Its mention connects their collaboration to the creation of an enduring resource for the Quaker community; beyond this shared role and the center’s stated functions, the book provides no details about its development.
