Christopher Hatton left a comment for Helen Bayes"I had to smile when you mentioned sweet singing voice... I am a genuinely appalling singer, but I loved being in Turkana as well, and yes the children had a great impact on me. It was a good group, and I loved being with our tour guides (Eden,…"
Ann Webb left a comment for Christopher Hatton""Yes, I've noticed that the tendency for Quakers here in England is quite progressive. NOT that I want to return to my conservative Baptist days, but more focus on the reason for Quaker's existence. :-)""
Helen Bayes left a comment for Christopher Hatton"Hello Christopher, I am smiling as I accept your invitation and remember your joyous play with children in the Turkana region and your lovely singing voice. I am delighted to be your Friend."
Christopher Hatton commented on Ann Webb's status"I like the sound of that Ann. My former Meeting in Uxbridge, Middx used to be quite Christ-centred, i.e. traditional, at the time I didn't appreciate it..... But now I do."
Christopher Hatton posted a status"Joined my Mennonite Friends in Hamburg for worship, last 1st day, but actually wished I had been in an expectant waiting worship."
Christopher Hatton replied to Helen Bayes's discussion 'New developments at Silver Wattle Quaker Centre, Australia'"Hi Helen,
Nice to see you here, and that the holy spirit is at work amongst you. I enjoyed you company in Kenya and would like to thank you again for helping out with the Christian Peacemaker Team presentation.
Blessings
Christopher"
Christopher Hatton posted a status"Quaked and gave Ministry during worship. Whilst centering, prayed for a sign that one of our ill Friends was OK, he just then walked in."
Christopher Hatton posted a blog postExpectant waiting - Ripley Quaker Meeting (Conservative)
17/02/2013 I worshipped with 5 (6?) others in expectant waiting with the conservative flavour of Friends. Although, I found it hard to settle initially because I had not come to worship with my heart and mind fully prepared.There was however a "brief" period of where I lost sense of time and was gathered and felt the presence. Although not moved to minister, I did think about how am I being "Salt" at the moment (Matthew 5) . A few days later I still cannot answer that question.A Friend was…See More
Christopher Hatton commented on Randy Oftedahl's blog post 'small 'q' quakerism'"Thank you Friend Randy, and Friend Stephanie also speaks my mind.
Although I would add that it is because of the "testimonies to truth and peace" that initially attracted me to Friends back in the summer of 1999. It was not until sometime…"
Christopher Hatton replied to Timothy Bruffy's discussion 'Discouragement.'"Dear Timothy,
Sorry to hear of the pain and the insomnia. Holding you in the light of Christ is a gentle way of upholding you from afar, however also writing to you and help you shine a light within yourself and help diminish the darkness is…"

Timothy Bruffy said… Hello, Christopher!
Willkommen im die HERR Jesu Christie!
Thank ye for accepting our Friend Invitation. Sorry I write and speak in a foreign manner or I should say an obsolete way. I know a wee bit of German, PA German, Scots Brogue, and middle English with the olde spellings as well. Hope I do not confuse thee much. I hope and trust to be a good Friend unto thee.
Blessing to thee.
Timothy

Hello, Christopher! I think I remember you from a discussion list some years ago: Dry Clean Only? Were you in northern Germany at that time?
