Plus, a special program exploring National Parks Virtual Learning Experiences for Your Students Civic Stories: William Penn and the Religious Society of Friends Tuesday, April 16 | Noon ET Run time: 35 minutes Live ASL Interpretation Available As an early convert to the new faith known as the Religious Society of Friends, William Penn had a unique impact on the faith's growth and endurance through his founding of Pennsylvania. By the end of the 18th century, the Quaker city of Philadelphia was situated to impact the forming of a new nation, and the Quaker principles that are scattered within our founding documents are the proof. While not by design, the Quaker faith has had a continuing legacy in the history of the beginning of the United States. Presented in partnership with the Arch Street Meeting House.
