Quaker spiritual meditations on line

Dear friends, Is there a place on line where I can find Quaker spiritual meditations?  A valued colleague is creating a list of links to Christian mystical meditations.  She asked me if I knew where any Quaker meditations are posted on line.  I…Continue

All right so far...

So, the course on moodle is being fun to put together. I never would have messed with so many features if I was trying to teach anything else. But I'm getting a sense that there is far more that I would like to try, that won't fit into 10 weeks,…Continue

Reeling them in 3 Replies

I'm learning as I teach (Techniques and Technology: teaching online with Moodle) and if you have any tried and true techniques for encouraging online participation - forum posts and assignment completion - I could use them. This is the 1 room school…Continue

I'm here as the coordinator of a small adult RE program that's sponsored by Beacon Hill Friends House and Salem Quarter/NEYM. With stunning originality, we call ourselves Quaker Studies. We are beginning to offer online courses. So this seems like a…Continue

If you are here to expeerience online learning you will want to look at the Quaker Studies online catalog page.  We're offering 2 courses this fall. One is an introductory look at St. Paul, especially for those of us who think we don't like him! The other is an exploration of Quaker spirituality - reading a deeply challenging pamphlet with a Friend with recognized gifts in ministry.

 

Quaker Studies online courses meet for a scheduled number of weeks and are led by experienced leaders. Your participation each week can occur when you have time. There are usually no scheduled lectures or meetings during the week. You do readings or exercises and respond to queries or share your experience through forums.

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…

Zaley Warkentin replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
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
