Outreach ~ Can our weakness be our strength?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Chip Thomas 1st month 26, 2011. 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

Help test QuakerApp on Android phone

Thanks to all who have helped to test the Android Quaker Application.   I have (finally) made the changes recommended by testers (darker background) and published in on the Android Play store.I invite Friends with Android smart phones (or other Android devices) to download the new version.  I would ask all Friends to share the news about this app.This is not a traditional app, but a "widget" that will display a different quote from George Fox on each day of the year.   Installation and…See More

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.
