  • Memorial Minute for Kingdon Swayne
    Memorial Minute for Kingdon Swayne Kingdon Swayne was the most broadly influential member of Newtown Friends Meeting in the late twentieth century. By his distinguished appearance alone, he drew attention. When he spoke, he commanded respect; his range and depth of knowledge were impressive. When he wrote, he conveyed scholarship, understanding and insight. When he sang, he moved and inspired. And he was our friend; his manner was gentle, kind and generous. Perhaps integrity is the Quaker testimony that Kingdon modeled best. His identity was infused with Quaker values and aspirations that were sometimes difficult to reconcile with changing times and circumstances. His impressive capacity for discernment provided the basis for decisions and actions that were consistent with, sustainable and integrated in his unique personality and path in life. He was raised on the George School campus, the son of teachers, and attended Newtown Meeting from his youth. He served in the U.S. Army for four years during World War II, rising to the rank of captain and earning a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Until his retirement in 1966, he continued to serve his country as a State Department Foreign Service diplomat in England, China, Canada, Japan and Burma. Kingdon’s success in his career reflected his love of problem solving, his peacemaking skills and his dedication to build a just and peaceful world. Returning to Newtown as a professor of political science at Bucks County Community College, he served as Mayor of Newtown, clerk of Newtown Friends Meeting, and clerk of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. He was a member of the Bucks County Choral Society and served as board member of the American Friends Service Committee and as a member and clerk of the George School Committee.
