My first meeting was in February 2002, and I had a vision, which was very unusual for me. I left the meeting a bit dumb-founded, but feeling a sense of peace. I also found the Kingdom of Heaven is within, where that still, small voice is waiting to be found and recognized. It was, in short, a transformative experience.

Their parents had joined Quaker communities shortly after they were born, or they were adopted and brought into Quaker families. I've been musing tonight over what it means to be 'birthright.' Maybe I'll find time to write about it soon.
