"I've been strongly brought to see that "Whom are we willing to include?"-- is an intensely felt question to many, but it isn't the most useful.
A continual personal investigation: "How much of the wild-and-crazy Truth can I…"

James Riemermann replied to James Riemermann's discussion 'New forum launched on www.liberalquakers.org' in the group Liberal Quakers"Thank you, Howard.
LiberalQuakers.org is absolutely not meant to represent an anti-Christ, anti-God message. If I see that emerging I will consider it my job as moderator to turn it around as best I can. As time goes on I would love to have…"
James Riemermann commented on Alice M Yaxley's blog post 'scriptures and universalism'"I should also add what might not be clear. Despite my differences, I am very grateful for the efforts Martin has put into stimulating and organizing Quaker conversation on the web through this site. Likewise Bill Samuel, who has been hosting a very…"
James Riemermann commented on Alice M Yaxley's blog post 'scriptures and universalism'"Thanks, Nate. My sense is that most of the people who participate here--like most people in my own meeting--are very open in their understanding of Quakerism. But I hear mixed messages as to whether this site is supposed to be truly pan-Quaker, or…"
James Riemermann commented on Alice M Yaxley's blog post 'scriptures and universalism'"Rather than add my profoundly off-topic response to Cat's comment on a post called "scriptures and universalism" on a web site labeled "Primitive Christianity Revived, Again: A Convergent Friends Community," I decided to…"
James Riemermann commented on Alice M Yaxley's blog post 'scriptures and universalism'"Cat,
I totally agree with most of what you say here (and also with most of what Forrest says, which is nice since we often disagree). But when you speak of "creeping secularism in our midst" I get my back up a little. What do you mean by…"
James Riemermann left a comment for Nathan Swift"Thanks for your very kind welcome, Nathan.
I've been slow to sign up here as a member, because I'm really not in line with the stated philosophical underpinnings of the site ("Quaker Christian renewal in the manner of convergent…"

- Never mind. It seems that all conversation that makes Martin uncomfortable is to be censored. Perhaps we can post interesting blog posts as new topics over at QuakerInfo.

- Thank you, James, but I don't think of it as tolerant, just as realistic. I hope you are going to hang around at least awhile, I'm formulating one more attempt to explain what it is about in relation to the last post by the little dragon (or whatever that nick is)

- "Christian renewal." Yes, indeed, and one of the things I hope to "renew" is that sense of openness to different ideas and bases for "Christ-like" action indicated by Paul in stating somewhere in Romans that those who do the "things of the law are a law unto themselves."

- I, for one, would like to especially welcome you to QuakerQuaker's new format at least. Over the last few years I have come to greatly appreciate your insights, and, while I know that there are some who would be leery of the "non-theist" label, I know where they are coming from whether we are in agreement as to the nature of that source or not. I also think that ALL theists need a healthy dose of how it looks from a more rational approach (not that the opposite is necessarily "irrational," but that "non-rational" needs to be solidly in touch with observed reality. Whatever...Welcome.
In His Love,
Nate
