"Good morning Doug,
I hate to say it (to quote a cliche:-) but the Evangelical Free's view of Scripture is the least of your (our) worries.
What is far more troubling about the EF is that many of their churches claim to follow Calvinism's…"

Daniel Wilcox commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'More on Evangelicalism, Fundamentalism and the Bible'Daniel Wilcox commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Among Friends, Who Is an Evangelical? Is Anyone a Fundamentalist?'"Thanks for raising all of these important problems--sort of like brushing fleas out of your dog;-)
Maybe one key point to keep in mind is the difference between "evangelical with a small e"
versus "Evangelical with the big E."…"

Daniel Wilcox replied to Larry Matthews's discussion 'Mysticism - would you care to share your experiences?'"Hi Larry,
Both of the poems were written previously at a point when I reflected deeply on these transforming experiences of God--experiences that were beyond prose words, that still guide me.
If you prefer, I can give you some of the narrative…"
Daniel Wilcox replied to John Michael Wine's discussion 'More thoughts on defining "liberal"' in the group Liberal Friends"Hi Jim,
I've appreciated much you have shared, especially about Buddhism. But as for "practice" in the sense of form being central in the Society of Friends (like the form in the Japanese tea ceremony) I would have to strongly…"
Daniel Wilcox replied to Adrian's discussion 'What does "liberal" mean to us' in the group Liberal Friends"Adrian,
No Truth can only be as reality really is. In Quakerism for 350 years,Quakers have experienced the love of God and the Light of God as the last word in existence.
I joined them because of this experience and what they hold to be true.

And Im sure Im not alone.

- Dear Daniel, Your work was rich in love. I feel sorry that (as it sounds from your comments) you had to lay it down.... I'm sorry also that "The Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education" is not online. The issue was 7/26/2004 pp 12-15. Had you already left the classroom then?

- Dear Daniel, My favorite article every year was the Inspiration Award article. I got to talk with outstanding principals (and developed a tentative opinion that the principal is key--what do you think?) Many times the old principal had been pushed out by NCLB and a new one transformed the school for the better. But students have been pushed out of school in order to keep the averages high. And the approved teaching materials are sold by Bush cronies.... Do you think NCLB will be changed or abolished now? Alison

- Dear Daniel Wilcox, Yes, Santa Maria High School won the College Board Inspiration Award in 2004 as one of the three high schools serving poor and minority students to achieve the best college-preparatory results. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw your residence because (with my late husband) I used to write for "The Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education," and I wrote about it for the 7/26/04 issue, and I felt at the time I could have written twice as much because of the many programs that school offered. I gather you were a teacher: high school? middle school?
We often ask too much of ourselves, while the people we try to help respond to our spirit of concern more than to the actual results of our work. Don't beat yourself up. Leave that for others--and most of the time they won't bother, being too concerned with their own issues!
I've lived in the Bay Area and in Los Angeles, but never in Central California. I live in New Mexico now.
Your new friend, Alison

- What a wealth of good reading in the thread to which you contributed! (Why do I bother with other books?)
PS: Did you know that Santa Maria has an award-winning high school?
