Primitive Christianity Revived, Again

Beverly

Plain Magazine

I'm re-reading The Plain Reader by Scott Savage and am wondering if anyone has back issues of Plain magazine that would part with, or if anyone could scan a couple issues for me?? I'm currently a seeker and have been leaning toward a more simple plain life for the past couple years. I'd enjoy connecting with other Plain Conservative Quakers. Thank you. Beverly

I too have that book. It is such a gift! I have been searching for information on the magazine myself but to no avail. Whether on the internet or other sources it seems to have gone away... I too am being drawn to the Plain Conservative path. I would love to discuss it with you. Blessings dear friend.

Beverly,
I've been in touch with some folks who might have some copies of "Plain" for thee. I'll stay in touch about what I find out. The michiganquakers.org has a library and may be able to help in thy search. I doubt that any issues of "Plain" will be found on line...electronics are not Scott's preferred way to communicat, but I'll do what I can. 'Stay tuned.
Faye

Looks like a beautiful magazine, Can someone post scans for people to view? I can help scan images if need be.

While scanning copies and posting them online might be useful to many who would like to read them, I recall that in the printed magazine, there were requests from the publisher (Scott Savage) that the magazine not be posted online. Especially since it would be protected by copyright, it would probably be best not to do this without permission from the owner.

This is a good point. One might write to Scott to see if he has copies. I think he is listed in the Wider Fellowship of Conservative Friends booklet.

Thanks for mentioning this Geoffrey. Faye, if you are able to contact Scott, maybe he would be interested in making copies for sale on an as needed basis. I think there are many folks who would be interested in reading Plain again.

Hi Faye. I'm wondering if you found out anything about Plain Magazine and if it is possible to buy/copy etc back issues? Thanks, Beverly Adams

Did anyone find out if Scott had copies left over? I am reading the Plain Reader and would love to read the rest of the magazine.

Called Out, Called In: Maggie Harrison's Loving Challenge

There is a prophet in our midst, and her name is Maggie Harrison. Rousing many like fire, making my skin itch at being possibly excluded from this club that I don't even belong to, really (when asked if I am a Quaker, I always respond, 'Not yet.'), but want to think I can put on and off like so much-- clothing?And, nakedness. Taking off the mantle of Religious Identity, making space for the un-knowingness of living INTO something, removing armor and scaffold and hard won (or not so hard won)…See More

First of all, Mazel Tov!  Prayers to your pregnancy, may it be a healthy, happy event in your life. With my children, I have raised them with my beliefs, explained why I dress Plain for worship, and leave them with what I have taught in hopes…

Congratulations Elin!  I don't have children so I'm going to speculate, but I don't think raising your kids differently from other people is going to injure them at all. Of course I am surrounded by people who are doing that very…

Elin - Congratulations! The bigger question you are raising is how to bring up spiritually healthy children in an unhealthy world! We have nine children and homeschooled all of them right from the start. They are amazing people and I know for a fact…

Mackenzie replied to Lauren Smith's discussion 'Parenting as a Friend'
I'm not a parent, so grain of salt ;) I maintain the opinion that setting a good example from the earliest age is what's important. Consistent rules probably have the best chance of being followed. That's not to say "when…

My thought would be to provide your child with both options and let them choose day to day... When I was much younger I was dressed both plain and modern, but as I grew older my parents encouraged me to dress mainstream. In my case, I became more…

Plain babies and children

Thumbnail
I am expecting a baby if everything goes well this summer. I just want to hear if there are any thoughts about teaching and showing the plain way to children. The table is open and I just want to hear what you think about this, is it even possible in today's society to raise children like that?As both me and my partner wear mainly clothes of a modern make we will buy 'normal' clothes for our children but try buy a lot of things second hand or try to swap them with others. When our child is a…See More

Daily Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 32 and 1 Corinthians 5

Deuteronomy 32 – The Song of Moses [the number of verses equals the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet – 23 - times 3. It concludes the teaching books of the Old Testament: “my teaching will fall like drops of rain and form on the earth like dew. My words will fall like showers on young plants, like gentle rain on tender grass” (32:2). From the beginning, the Judeo-Christian vision has been that we humans are here on earth as creations of a “mighty,” “just” and “perfect” God, who seeks…See More
