About the Historic Elmwood/Pinewood Cemetery, Inc (HEPI): HEPI is a 501(3) non-profit dedicated to preserving, restoring, enhancing, and sharing the original historic and park-like atmosphere of Elmwood/Pinewood, and Settler’s Cemeteries.

Before there was a Department of Parks and Recreation, cemeteries were purposely designed for dual-use. Easter and Halloween parades were conducted in Elmwood. Families had picnics and children played in the green space. We at HEPI believe that we, in concert with the City, can provide a safe, friendly, and serene environment for those interred, those visiting loved ones, and those wanting to learn about our past or just take a break from the hubbub.

Religion and education, when considered together in the context of juvenile education, have produced an enduring sense of tension in American culture, and across its political spectrum. Imagine the effect on a society when the relationship is proscribed by an outside culture, such as when the United States and other Allied nations played an active role “reconstructing” Japan to meet the norms of Western nations. Jolyon Thomas, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania adopts a supranational approach to this analysis when he tracks the fallout of the 1947 Settlement, a post-World War II agreement that ostensibly clarified the relationship between religion and education in the new society. Instead, the settlement elicited considerable confusion and fueled debate over patriotic ritual, moral instruction, vocational training, and sex education. Thomas also upends some conventional narratives about late twentieth-century “secularization,” while showing how religious studies offers indispensable tools for understanding some of the most vexing legal and political dilemmas of our time.

"Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farmhouse, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Well... suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and consequently determined that Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress can't cook. Suppose everyone's alibi gets confused with everyone else's. An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed."
