Bill Samuel commented on Cotswold Quaker's blog post 'Conscientious Objectors Prosecuted in UK.'

Well, I'm familiar with them. They are headquartered in my area, and own my Congressman.

Bill Samuel commented on Cotswold Quaker's blog post 'Conscientious Objectors Prosecuted in UK.'

For those of us outside the U.K., could you tell us the connection between the census and warmaking?

Bill Samuel commented on Kevin Camp's blog post 'Addressing Meeting Discipline'

There may be a complex of issues here. There is indeed often an undue reluctance to face difficult situations in a meeting. Often contemporary Friends are reluctant to recognize and nurture spiritual gifts within the meeting out of a…

Bill Samuel replied to Joan Gunn Broadfield's discussion 'Quakers and their organizations'

This has been true of many Friends organizations. But some newer ones, like Friends Peace Teams, have seemed able to find a better way, being conscious of being the change they seek. But I think some of the more established groups have within them a…

Bill Samuel commented on Patricia Barber's blog post 'The Odd Man at the Dinner Party'

I know dozens of people who have responded to Jesus being pushed to the side in much of Quakerism by leaving Quaker meetings. Some have gone to other churches. Some have started small Christian Quaker worship groups. Some have found no place they…

Bill Samuel commented on Forrest Curo's blog post 'Writing an Occupy Minute'

I believe the process you are describing is not traditional Quaker process at all, but rather secular consensus building through compromise. The goal of traditional Quaker process is for the Spirit of Christ to transform all in the meeting so they…

Bill Samuel commented on Kevin-Douglas Olive's blog post 'Going Plain....'

Dear Kevin, Be faithful to your true Teacher. Be concerned with what Dallas Willard calls the Audience of One. That One will be faithful regardless of what those around you think. Be much in prayer, and just how plain is to be for you will unfold in…

Bill Samuel commented on Jim Wilson's blog post 'The Heresy Of Silence'

Quietism had both positive and negative aspects, IMHO. It did focus on direct experience with God, which is the heart of true religion, but also from my reading of Quaker history it was over-suspicious of vocal ministry and fostered a cultishness…

An Open Letter to President Barack Obama, Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas, Mr. President, to you and your lovely family.

In your Christmas radio message you said, "many are fighting halfway around the globe – in hopes that someday, our children and grandchildren won’t have to." I believe that you were sincere in saying that, but I ask you to look at that statement in light of the facts of history.

Many of your predecessors said the same thing with respect to the wars they were fighting. People on both sides of every war seem to say… Continue

Daily Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 28 and Galatians 6

Deuteronomy 28 – If you obey the voice of God by observing the law, you will prosper. Disobedience will bring destruction (28:45). The big word in this chapter, as in others, is if or “provided” or “so long as.” This is the great condition that hangs over the redemption people. The word does not disappear under the new covenant either as we sometimes like to think. “You are my friends if you do as I command you.” (John 15:14). The convincing power of the gospel is not in its syllogistic…See More

Hello Evangelical Friends. I have just de-listed from the Liberal Quakers. I pray that they still know me. But I pray that I will know you.

Where ministry meets livelihood

Listen to this post: http://www.turtleboxstories.com/audio/whereministrymeets.mp3 Yesterday was sandwiched between a traditional Bible study and a new women's group on astrology and archetypes. Could I have chosen anything more different? One is an ongoing study of Luke that my mother initiated in December with, mostly, retired women. I felt called to join because when else might I have the chance to do a Bible study…See More
