I have written an Android Quaker Application and am looking for Friends to help test it. The App is really a "Widget". When installed and configured it will display a quote from George Fox (for each…Continue

Outreach ~ Can our weakness be our strength?
10 Replies
Dear Friends: One of the challenges with outreach is the fact that being a Quaker is not easy. Let's face it. Quakers do things the hard way. Our decisions require consensus (or unity, or sense…Continue

Jon replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Help test QuakerApp on Android phone'"I have used the larger version of the widget, which displayed the quote. I enjoyed reading the sayings each day. I then re-sized the widget to the smaller icon, which you have to open to read. I actually like it better because you get the saying…"
Gary Elleman replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Help test QuakerApp on Android phone'"I just installed the medium-sized widget and it's great! Thank you"

Is thee asking me how the "Mind the Heavenly Treasure" link for the TAF site is going? If so, I am actually working on that now (and running into some glitchs).

Christine Manville Greenland replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Help test QuakerApp on Android phone'"Chip -- Can we link this to the Tract Association's web page? I'll need to reactivate my Android, though... It was hiding for weeks.

Chip Thomas replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Help test QuakerApp on Android phone'"Oh yeah, after you bring up the full quote (touch on medium size) try the menu key. It will bring up more options.

Chip Thomas replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Help test QuakerApp on Android phone'"Penny had the same concern. I will work on it. Thanks."
Martin Kelley replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Help test QuakerApp on Android phone'"Wow, Chip, who would have imagined?? I installed the medium-sized widget and it seems to be working fine. The only issue I have is that it's a bit difficult to read the text on the far left--not quite enough contest between text and background.…"

I have written an Android Quaker Application and am looking for Friends to help test it. The App is really a "Widget". When installed and configured it will display a quote from George Fox (for each day of the year) on your phone. Before I put it on the official Android market place I would like to have a friendly audience run it through its paces. If thee is intrested and has an Android phone thee can download and install it by entering the following URL into thy phone's browser (or browse…See More

"One of my first Meetings, long before I became a regular. These were apocalyptic times, in a small college town where strange notions were highly contagious, virtually epidemic... and I was expecting near-whatever! Actually, I'd been thinking…"
"I believe Jesus was saying that many would get lost along the way.
I've been literally lost, many times. Usually I've been able to turn around and find-- if not the place I was looking for, at least the place God intended.

Rosemary Gould replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Outreach ~ Can our weakness be our strength?'"I like your piece and your approach. One thing I think you could add, though, is that even though it is challenging (I like Isabel's word) you aren't doing it alone. God will help you. People need reassurance that it's ok to begin as…"
Isabel Penraeth replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Outreach ~ Can our weakness be our strength?'"Chip--
I have contemplated this quite a bit. I have come to the conclusion that a more precise word for the situation might be "challenging" rather than "hard." Athletes don't do things just because they are hard, but…"
Chip Thomas replied to Chip Thomas's discussion 'Outreach ~ Can our weakness be our strength?'"Dear Friends:
I appreciate and agree with all of these comments. They have given me much food for thought. In fact, they demonstrate a deeper consideration of the question than I originally intended.

Profile Information
- About Me
- Technically, one might call me a birthright Friend. I prefer the term congenital Friend (embracing both definitions at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/congenital).
Raised in a liberal friends’ tradition, today I find myself a full member of both Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and Ohio Yearly Meeting. I first encountered Ohio’s consistently deep worship in my mid 40s. That experience taught me to keep Christ at the center. But I have also realized that the inclusive and tender culture of my childhood is not at odds with OYM’s unwavering focus on Christ. They are integral parts of the same animal.
My membership is with Marlborough Monthly Meeting of PYM and Keystone Friends Meeting of OYM. Both communities are precious to me.
