Friends Meeting House -Just Breathe
Mostly non-theistic Friends
The actual meeting house is adjacent to the school, which is pictured above.
# I attended here many Sunday mornings when I lived in Chester County. I went there primarily to meditate, as most of the time there was quiet. There were no priests and near the beginning of the hour someone would very briefly read from a verse from the Bible, but other than that there was no mention of God or Christ, hence the term “non-theistic”. On occasion someone in attendance might stand to say whatever was on their mind, but it was brief and their was no further discussion of the subject.
Meditation was very important to me, as I worked many hours in the week and had thee children who required my attention as well as my house that required constant upkeep.
So, these “meetings” was my time to calm myself and gain a bit of peace. I always came away refreshed. And I still practice meditation at home.

W. S. Barnes
William Smith Barnes was born 29 Aug 1859 in Mercer, Mercer County, PA to Robert E. Barnes (1825-1870) and Clarissa "Clara" Amberson (1828-1881). In 1885, William married Mary Agnes Bigham (1859-1930). William was a clergyman and was sent to various churches around the country. By 1910, the family would settle in Luzerne County, PA. William and Mary had 5 children: Kenneth Bigham (1885-1971); Walter Amberson (1888-1932); William James (1892-1964); Margaret Evangeline (1895-1980); and Roswell Parkhurst (1901-1990). After Mary's passing, William married Annabelle Weir (1887-1949). There were no children from this marriage. On 20 Nov 1943 in West Chester, Chester, PA, William passed away.
