Mackenzie replied to Chandra Blazek's discussion 'Where Do I Fit In?'"UU, Liberal Quaker, and Secular Humanist were my top 3 on Beliefnet when I took it a couple years ago :)
Your version of God (set things in motion then let them run) sounds like Deism. My boyfriend is a Quaker Deist. I consider…"
Elin Hagberg replied to Chandra Blazek's discussion 'Where Do I Fit In?'"Chandra, I think that the idea that Christians believe that god is some old man in the sky is somewhat untrue. I do not say that there are no Christians that believe that but very few I have met have that understanding of god. I don't think the…"
Cindy Boucher replied to Chandra Blazek's discussion 'Where Do I Fit In?'"Thanks for sharing this beliefnet link. It confirmed what my research & self exploration has revealed.
While raised United.....something was always missing and in fact as a result of this feeling I left the church for many years.…"
David L. Hoffman replied to Chandra Blazek's discussion 'Where Do I Fit In?'"Dear Chandra,
I encourage you to visit an unprogrammed (aka "libera") Quaker meeting, and to allow yourself to explore and experience in the way Liz suggested.
I want to add that many devout Christians have the same reservations about…"
Roger Dreisbach-Williams replied to Chandra Blazek's discussion 'Where Do I Fit In?'"Hi Chandra

Stephanie Stuckwisch replied to Chandra Blazek's discussion 'Where Do I Fit In?'"I've heard Judaism described as not being about correct belief so much as a correct life. I think that fits the Society of Friends also.
Like Tim, I identify the Spirit of Christ with the Inner Light. I would also welcome you to our Meeting…"
"Obviously you fit the contemporary 'Liberal Friend' category quite well.
The question, to my mind, is whether you find it a satisfactory resting place... That "something 'out there' " as you put it-- Are you content…"
Liz Opp replied to Chandra Blazek's discussion 'Where Do I Fit In?'"Hey, Chandra!
Wow, I don't know that I would have been as brave as you, to have Googled about liberal Quakers and then post something like this... but I was shy as a 20-something and I know everyone's a bit different....
One thing I want…"
Joanna Hoyt replied to Chandra Blazek's discussion 'Where Do I Fit In?'"Welcome! I hope someone else can give a better answer about the different branches of Quakerism.
There's a wide spectrum of belief present in many Friends Meetings. Have you read about the spiritual disciplines practiced by Quakers? I came to…"
Chandra Blazek posted a discussionWhere Do I Fit In?
Where do I begin?Last year I stumbled upon a website called BeliefNet.org. It contained a quiz called the Belief-O-Meter, in which you answer a series of questions pertaining to your personal belief system, from which is derives a list of religions that most closely coincide with you.
