Chester Monthly Meeting of Friends (Orthodox : 1827-1952). Women's Meeting.

Hide Profile

Chester Monthly Meeting was established in 1681. At the time of the Hicksite Separation of 1827, this meeting split into Hicksite and Orthodox branches. In 1948, Chester Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) released some of its members to form Springfield Monthly Meeting. The members of Chester Preparative Meeting (Orthodox) merged with Chester Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) in the same year to form Chester United Monthly Meeting of Friends. The membership of Chester Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) was therefore identical with that of Media Preparative Meeting, its only remaining preparative meeting. The preparative meeting was accordingly discontinued. In 1952, the monthly meeting became a united meeting by affiliation with the two Concord Quarterly Meetings. In 1955, the meeting's name was changed to Media Monthly Meeting.
