Quakerism Left Me | Friends Journal
'People frequently ask me if I've left Quakerism. I feel that Quakerism left me and many others like me. I identify as part of a wandering generation. We have to rebuild this spirituality for ourselves and for the future.'Micah Bales: Let God Out of the Meetinghouse
"We have become respectable, church-going people—a far cry from the radical movement that exploded distinctions between sacred and profane, releasing God from steeple houses and exclusive rituals."John Edminster: Radical Jesus and a Tyrant Devil
“To the extent that we no longer realize the reality of the supernatural power of the demonic realm... we no longer sense the need for a Savior, for Jesus Christ."Rebecca Ankeny: Justice and Mercy
I confess that this is often where I have to start when I feel wronged. I start by praying for justiceBrent Bill: A Thanksgiving Reflection
Singing trees, jubilant fields – these things we take as poetic language. Things that don’t really happen. Or do they?Joanna Hoyt: The Struggle We Share
We are all most apt to hear the stories about how Our People, however we define them, are being hurt. And in this culture there's plenty of hurting to go around.Gil S: X for Xmas

To fulfill its corporate calling, a meeting has to be equipped itself to serve its members in their ministry.Kevin Roberts: What's Wrong With Fracking?
"I'm somewhat bemused by the hostility and fear that the process of [fracking] seems to instill in many people, especially when they depend so heavily on its products for their own lifestyle choices."Wess Daniels: Building a Participatory Church | Gathering In Light
At it’s core, the Quaker tradition is participatory. It is a movement within Christianity meant to “remix” Christianity – to take what is already there and make it authentically your own. No one else’s words will do, no creed will work, not rituals or forms can – on their own – be enough.Quaker Beliefs/Groups

Well, that says it! The biggest question, for me, is: "Whose fool am I going to be?" If I'm too concerned about being a fool and having everybody know I'm a fool -- if I'm too downright chickenshit scared by that, as I am -- then how can I help pass…Continue
