Irene Lape replied to Gene Hillman's discussion 'which "Primitive Christianity Revived, Again"'"I don't usually have time to get involved in the interesting discussions going on at QuakerQuaker.

Martin Kelley replied to Gene Hillman's discussion 'which "Primitive Christianity Revived, Again"'"Hi Gene: Oh no, you're sounding like my wife Julie (as a Quaker gone Catholic with Orthodox interests, she frequently asks the same questions).

David-Stephen replied to Gene Hillman's discussion 'which "Primitive Christianity Revived, Again"'" I am hugely encouraged by the title and 'foray' into this topic of "Primitive Christianity'. I once was totally delighted that we had a 'better perspective' of Christ-following…"
Gene Hillman posted a discussionwhich "Primitive Christianity Revived, Again"
Every time I log onto QuakerQuaker I see that "Primitive Christianity Revived, Again" line. This morning I went back and glanced over William Penn's essay by that name. Primitive Christianity encompassed a great range of theologies from Arian to Nestorian and Gnostic, and within the church as now constituted there are the theologies of Paul, the synoptic gospels, and John, all different on a close reading. It was the purpose of the creeds to define Christian orthodoxy (for state purposes). The…See More

Friends will meet at the rise of Meeting and after a quick snack, will consider the readings as understood through the lens of our own experience. Those readings will be from Howard Brinton's Friends for 350 Years, our own Faith & Practice, and the Bible. See More
Profile Information
- About Me
- I live in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania with my wife Patricia Daly and our cat Sophie. I have an adult son Geoffrey, as of this writing working and living in Changwon, Korea; and a stepdaughter Natalie, a social worker who lives with her partner in Kimberton, Pennsylvania.
I am convinced of the gospel (Mark 1:15) in its Quaker understanding ("Christ has come to teach his people himself"). Pat and I are members of Goshen Monthly Meeting (PhYM).
I also believe, with John Woolman, "There is a principle which is pure, placed in the human mind, which in different places and ages hath had different names. It is, however, pure and proceeds from God. It is deep and inward, confined to no forms of religion nor excluded from any..."
Brief Bio
I am a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Korea-6), and retired statistician (Hahnemann Medical College, and the U.S. Naval Academy), child welfare worker (Delaware County Sexual Abuse Center), religious educator (6 years as Coordinator of Adult Religious Education for PhYM), and thrice prison worker (ministry supported by Western Quarter of PhYM, AVP lead trainer, addictions counselor at CSI Chester).
I was also on staff at Pendle Hill for two and a half years in the late 1980s and have since led workshops there, and I represented BaYM on the General Board of Friends United Meeting in the 1990s. I have an M.A in Theology from Villanova University. Now retired, I continue to offer workshops in Quakerism and the Bible as requested.
My experience in Korea has greatly influenced my life (my first wife, and mother of my son Geoffrey, is Korean). My early spiritual life was Buddhist and was closely tied to the martial arts (before becoming a Quaker). I continue to practice the Taoist discipline of Yang style Taichi-Chuan.
