Monkton Ridge Oversight Committee records, 1995 - 1997

 File — Box: 2
Identifier: RG2/NY/N675 3.3

Scope and Contents

This folder includes records kept by Northeastern Regional Meeting regarding the complicated situation of Monkton Ridge. Monkton Ridge Monthly Meeting evolved into something of a joint community church group in association with two nearby Methodist congregations, but by the mid-1990s no longer had sufficient Quaker members to continue the business of being a monthly meeting. Laying down the meeting involved complications of property, assets, and membership. Additional material can be found in the Monkton Monthly Meeting Records (QM-NY-M623).

This file includes surveys from members of Monkton Ridge Meeting (largely those who regarded themselves as Methodist and did not realize they were not formally affiliated), correspondence regading the properties, deeds, and assets at issue, background material attempting to trace the organizational hierarchy of Monkton Ridge, and minutes of Northeastern Regional Meeting's Monkton Ridge Oversight Committee.
