Biographical / Historical

At the time of the Hicksite Separation, no Hicksite branch of this preparative meeting was formed. Muncy Preparative Meeting (Orthodox) began to meet on an annual basis in 1938. It was later discontinued. In 1982, Muncy Preparative Meeting was re-established by Muncy Monthly Meeting.
