We are proud of the ancestors who founded our Meeting—quite a few of us read through our history and recognize our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Those ties bind us to this place.
Others of us belong here even though we have no family who preceded us. Fairview has a long history of relationship with Wilmington College, and a number of our pastoral ministers have taught there. The Quaker hero Thomas Kelly was an occasional preacher here, and a handful of our ministers have also been editors of Quaker Life magazine, a national Quaker publication.
This facsimile of the program prepared by Clayton Terrell for our hundredth anniversary, in 1969, perhaps tells our story in quickest fashion.
