“Love is the hardest lesson
of Christianity.”

- In 1946 John E. Eshelman compiled a detailed history
of
Quakers in Berks County, 1718 - early 1900's.
It is based on some extensive research
on the topic. While
written in modern American English, it
does present dates in the traditional Quaker fashion. The
document here includes some photographs of places identified
in
the history.
- In 1972 Janet E.
Norton wrote a A
Short History of Reading
Monthly Meeting. She
updated it in
1995, and it brings some of the Meeting's history up to date.
- In
1975 Janet Norton wrote a A
Short History of the Maidencreek Monthly Meeting. While there is no longer a
separate
Maidencreek Meeting, the Maidencreek meetinghouse continues to play an
active
role in the life of Reading Monthly Meeting.
