Everything was answered in an unruly manner. Their guidelines for covid were flip flopped all over the place and they didn't put certain rules into effect once the mandate was lifted. My daughter came out of school one hot day and was having trouble breathing. I should have been notified immediately. Instead they turned her away. I would not recommend this school to anyone. My younger daughter we will go somewhere else.

Still, once on the property, and the church is seen in the distance across the open field, you realize that this is probably a good place for a church, but certainly not for anything that attracts more autos into the site. There is no other way in or out, so just be careful. I have only been to this location a few times for special events of the Chinese Christian Church of Princeton that rents the facility from the local congregation on a regular basis. The most recent was the celebration of The Year of the Dog, which began recently. The space works well for these hundred or so families, and it is obvious why they would love to purchase the grounds and structures for their perpetual use. Word has it that the church has declining membership and was in fact for sale at one time, but that it is now in partnership with a residential developer to build homes around the steeple and use the hall as a community center!? Sounds like a very bad idea. I enjoyed the feasts and festivities produced by the leasees there, both summer and winter. How nice would it be if they had a permanent home here in the heart of Bucks County. Surely, William Penn would approve.

Although Newtown was founded by Quaker William Penn in 1684, the Newtown Friends Meeting House was…read morenot constructed until 1817. Why did it take so long, when Newtown was a hub of population and commerce throughout the 17th and 18th Centuries; and was the county seat of Bucks County for 88 years beginning in 1727? Given the nature of Quakerism, the very importance of the township was the reason that the majority Quaker population in those days choose to find peace, contemplation and brotherhood a bit farther afield. According to local historians, the presence of the courthouse, about a day's horseback ride from most other villages in the county, often required litigants and weekly market sellers to stay overnight in town. The presence of so many non-residents led to the establishment of businesses complementary to their desires. Thus, there were many taverns and whorehouses to pleasure the traveler. Even a modest sin city was more than the pure souls could accept, and they decided to seek their communion with God a few miles out of town away from these earthly distractions. So, shortly after Doylestown was selected the new center of government and justice (1813), the Newtown Quakers began planning the path to making Newtown a meeting center. One of the leaders of the Quaker community in Newtown was the artist Edward Hicks (The Peaceable Kingdom). He arrived in 1811, and became the driving force in town for the balance of his life. The actual meetinghouse was built in 1815. It remains today, a two story whitewashed stucco structure, with out buildings and beautiful peaceful garden. While not a Quaker myself, I have had the good fortune to spend a lot of time in the meetinghouse due to the generosity of the Meeting, that willingly allows others to use the facility for community purposes. Thus, The Peace Center has held its Peace Camp there for many summers, and a local Jewish congregation met in their sanctuary Friday nights/Saturday mornings for several years. Before that, the Underground Railroad was believed to have had a stop in the vicinity organized by the group, and they were known to have collected money to send south to assist in the manumission of slaves. This noble house today sits in a park-like setting at the southern end of Court Street, the former main thoroughfare of town. It is still open for the business of prayer, witnessing and quiet contemplation. Although renovated in the past few years, its unique spiritual qualities survive for those who can feel its presence.
