In 1663, when all adults from Reading Friends Meeting were imprisoned for their faith, the children of the Meeting continued worship in the manner of Friends.   This legend of Quaker Faith and Practice illustrates integrity, courage and non-violent resistance in the face of authority.  A fictionalized account was published in 1906 by Friends told from the perspective of Judith, a young Friend in Reading Meeting.  An excerpt was published in the September/October 2015 issue of the Western Friend.
