Emma Woolliams commented on Patricia Barber's blog post 'The Odd Man at the Dinner Party Part III'"The most memorable children's meeting of my childhood (liberal Friends meeting, UK, we were all teenagers at the time) was the one when we each took a different translation of the Bible and comparing them, wrote our own version of "Matthew…"
Jim Wilson replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"Friend Isabel:
I believe the U.S. gathering is Seventh Month: 7/7 to 7/9. The link is:

There is also a UK gather in Seventh Month, if I've got it right, from…"
Isabel Penraeth replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"New Foundation Fellowship might indeed be a good place to go. There are separate UK and US branches, the UK branch has a Ning network (like QuakerQuaker) at nffquaker.org, while the US branch has a static, more traditional website at:…"
James C Schultz replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"I'm a cnvinced Christian Quaker who was raised Catholic, had a "conversion" experience on a retreat and started a journey of faith through the Catholic Charismatic renewal, pentacostalism, and evangelicalism to a non-programmed…"
Jim Wilson replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"Friend Emma:
I think you might find the New Foundation Fellowship of some assistance. You can find one of their sites here:
nffquaker.org
It seems to be primarily a British Group at this time. It is definitely a…"
Emma Woolliams replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"Thanks Isabel! That's absolutely right.
Actually it's all a bit theoretical at the moment because I have a 7 week old baby, a 4 year-old and a husband who is not Quaker, so won't come with me - so I've only made it to…"
Paula Deming replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"Isabel is right again. She always takes it deeper.
Thank thee, Friend."
Isabel Penraeth replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"Paula said "I wish to speak to the possibility of a Friend not attending the local meeting (this is why I wrote about "isolation by choice"). So often people will come to meeting, knowing themselves to be Quaker, but determine…"
Paula Deming replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"Ken shows us once more how lucky we are to have any Quaker meeting nearby. :)
As a Christian Friend, Ken, you might be severely pained to be in a meeting in which there is open hostility to Christian language, or even to the mention of God. A…"
Kenneth Lawrence Schroeder replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"Hi Emma,
After much searching there came a point when God 'spoke to me', and i realized that all i had to do was love God and everything else would fall into place. This is the confidence i have that I have found God's…"
Stephanie Stuckwisch replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"I agree with Paula. Continue to attend your meeting. The absence of even one Friend changes the meeting in ways I don't fully understand.
I come from a yearly meeting in the USA where people had the attitude of "anyone but Jesus". I…"
Paula Deming replied to Emma Woolliams's discussion 'Support desired'"Good morning, Emma,
