- The fellowship was first organized in 1987 as a liberal religious community. In the past three years the fledgling group has grown and formalized its goals. Members share a religious faith which celebrates individual freedom and reason in the search for truth and meaning.
- This summer the group adopted its own formal statement of purpose. One of the the seven principles states: "To work for the vision of a better world by standing for the cause of social justice and human rights, support efforts for world peace, and seek to protect the earth's environemnt through our respect for the interdependent web of all living things."
- Members benefit from the services of part-time minister Raymond Pontier, who speaks once a month. On other weeks members volunteer to talk or invite a visiting speaker on programs which cover a wide range of social and religious interests.
- The Upper Delaware fellowship meets at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday morning in the recreation hall at Innisfree, an inn and country retreat in Milanville. Visitors are always welcome. For information call 717/729-7197.
