Bridget Casterline commented on Kevin-Douglas Olive's blog post 'Going Plain....'
My thoughts on plain dress are that those of us who are called to it are those of us who need it. So I do what's needed and trust God to have chosen the right path for me. He's got a better track record than I do, anyway. ;-)
Bridget Casterline replied to Beth Belch's discussion 'Modesty and submission?' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
I think that if one is being led, one had better go. That is submission to God.
Where one ends up when obeying a leading is not where one starts, and your feelings on this subject may well change and deepen and broaden because your…
Bridget Casterline replied to Helen Gibbs's discussion 'Core wardrobe for a modern plain' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
Sorry, I didn't see the question about the Tara dress until now.
The Tara dress in Caribbean cloth is the heavier weight -- too heavy for me in Pennsylvania or New York City summertimes. This one is currently sold out for the…
Bridget Casterline commented on Laura Katherine's blog post 'Should this be harder?'
It sounds like what was hard for you was practicing Quakerism alone, without a community of Quakers to accompany you in your walk, before you even knew that this was what you were practicing. That may not have been your f/Friend's…
Bridget Casterline replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Modesty, plainness and hair' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
I wear modest dresses, not traditional but more modern plain -- one style, various solid colors. Now and then a skirt, but adding skirts to the mix requires adding shirts, so both may be on their way out. No makeup, but I do use a…
Bridget Casterline replied to Helen Gibbs's discussion 'Headcovering - finding a way to do this as a modern Plain'
My experience with headcovering, as with everything else, has been that if I am called to it, I will be given whatever I need to do it. So most of the time I don't fret; I just have faith and get on with things. My…

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…
Paula Roberts replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
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…
Barbara Smith replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
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
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
