11th mo. 19, 2010 at 8:30am to 11th mo. 21, 2010 at 4pm
A remarkable international conference addressing deep human conflict issues. The Power of Compassion is relevant to many areas of Quaker work and witness. Our Peace and Equality testimonies call us to de-polarize global, inter-communal and inter-personal conflicts – including those within our own Quaker community.At a time when polarization is the true culprit,a multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary conference addressing fear-based belief systems, negative stereotypes, polarization, enemy images,…See More

"David: The best place to find "Quaker spiritual meditations", in my experience, is in the journals and memoirs of Friends from the past. Most but not all of these were written by, or about, ministers. Many are aware of the journals of…"

"Hi Jim! I didn't realize that was you asking? I'm going camping this week, so I won't be by for puerh tea for a while. I scrounged through all my back issues of W-Friend (which by the way actually changed its name in 2007 or 2008) and…"

Profile Information

About Me
I am a Quaker. I am an Evangelical Christian. I believe in Christ Spirit. I believe God loves and accepts the sincere, humane worship of every person, regardless of what they call their belief, or what they call God, or what they imagine God to be. I respect those whom such Pauline doctrines as the Trinity bring into fuller embrace of Christ Spirit and of God's Will. I do not consider those doctrines essential for salvation, or for communion with God, or for transformation through Christ Spirit.

I am a nonviolent, democratic Marxist. I believe we all need to share the planet.

I am 65 years old. I have thought about these things long and hard.

There are millionsof other people who share these same values and convictions. Alot of us get bullied or pressured into silence by people who are more doctrinaire than we are. However we are still here, doing the best we can.

I am a member of Redwood Forest Friends Meeting (unprogrammed) in Santa Rosa, California.

God bless all the principled, compassionate people in the World. "Against such there is no law."
