- Pendle Hill is a Quaker study and retreat center located on a 23-acre (93,000 m) campus in suburban Wallingford, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. It was named for the plateau in Lancashire, England, that the first Quaker preacher described as the site of his calling to ministry. Founded in 1930, Pendle Hill offers programs open to people of all faiths. These programs include a residential study program, short-term courses and retreats, conference services, publications, leadership training, and a walk-in bookstore. The residential study program includes a curriculum of worship, work, study, and service; people typically enrol for three to nine months. Short-term courses of two to seven days are offered throughout the year on themes including introductory Quakerism, nonviolent change, sustainable living, arts and spirituality, and bodywork. The campus includes lawns, buildings, worship spaces, a large organic garden, and a walking path lined with trees. For many years Pendle Hill has offered public lecture series. In response to the terrorism of September 11, 2001, Pendle Hill had a series of lectures and workshops concerning peacemaking. Recent series have focused on nurturing individual and corporate spiritual life.
