Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Welcome to Inward Light
Quakers (known formally as the Religious Society of Friends) are a small Christian denomination founded by George Fox in England in the 17th century. Friends place special emphasis on the direct ongoing access that they believe all people have to God within the heart. Over the past 350 years, Friends have developed some unique ways of attending to this divine voice in worship and in group decision-making. Quakers also have been known for their strong social "testimonies" for peace, equality, simplicity, integrity, and care for the Earth.
Annie and Peter are both active Friends. Annie taught art for many years at Goshen Friends School and served for many years on the Worship and Ministry committees. Annie has led workshops, on her own and with Peter, at Friends General Conference, a yearly gathering of Quakers in the United States and at several other Quaker conference centers. They have both travelled extensively among Friends in the United States, Canada, Britain, and New Zealand.
Peter is a graduate of a two year training program in spiritual direction at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation. He has taught Quakerism and Bible at Westtown School and has led numerous retreats and classes in Quakerism for Quaker meetings.
Annie & Peter are currently members of Mt. Toby Meeting located in Leverett MA. Their previous meeting, Middletown Meeting in Lima, PA, wrote a number of letters over the years in support of Annie & Peter's music ministry as well as a letter supporting Peter's teaching ministry among Friends.

There is information here on this gathering as well as another similar gathering planned for 2008.
