I dedicated it to you because you seem to be the only one who has put things in the creative section.

Source: emdurso Response to Micah Bales' Article Question at the ' Lamb's War' Blog. “Can Quakerism Survive the Airplane?” Only if the "Airplane" is carrying emergency medical aid. Not if we go, for to long, to the calm stillness of a Friends Meeting House! We must never take our spiritual anarchy for granted. But instead mix it. And merge it freely with the Other: The Traditionalist. Who? Our Friends. Protestants. Anglicans. Orthodoxy. And even, or even especially, the 'enemy'. Roman…See More
Profile Information
- About Me
- Individualist Anglican-Quaker Traditionalist .
Non-leftist liberal, pragmatic moderate background.
Allied toward the Libertarian right-wing. Started off with a Protestant ethos. Moving toward Catholic tastes of my enemy.
So I'm an Individualist with a Traditionalist Anglican destination. Leading and drawing out my free path toward the perfected order of God, through the prayer, equality and fellowship of Jesus Christ.
I'm interested in the beauty of Christendom. Especially in its depiction of Nature.
It's fair to say that " my friends may find me annoying. My enemies are hospitable. And the rest don't know ".
I come from an Individualist perspective on Anglo-Saxon Protestantism, when approaching Anglo-Catholic ideas of tradition.
I live and love the North Country: the North Coast and the New England Tablelands of New South Wales, with its traditionalist country values of faith, flag, family or freedom.
That's despite me being Sydney-born and raised.
Welcome to my page. I regret I won't be able to respond to all correspondance. God Bless You.
My life:
I'm a Private Artist. Enjoy writings about Nature and North Poetry. I fully believe that Individual, Direct and Peaceful Activism, in any sphere yields actual results.
Whether in public or private so long as it adheres to the non-aggression axiom, and acts to achieve no-harm results.

A Testimony of Affirmation of Christianity (via Joey Stalnaker's profile - thanks.)
A Testimony of Affirmation of Christianity
I believe in One True and Living Supreme Being as Creator God of all things.
I believe this God exists as Three Individuals united into one Being and functioning as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
I believe that the Heavens and Earth were Created by this Three-In-One God
I believe that sin came into the world through the influence of a fallen angel, and that mankind chose to fall away from perfection by committing disobedience towards God’s commandments
I believe that God required a penalty for sin committed against Him, and that He chose Jesus Christ to experience death and resurrection sacrificially atoning for all mankind
I believe that God, through His Son Jesus, enlightens every person on the Earth towards that opportunity to do good, gifting all people with freedom of choice
I believe that God’s Word has been given to mankind over the centuries through hearing audibly, seeing it written, and perceiving it spiritually in our mind and heart.
I believe that the Bible, as a collection of inspired words written through human hands, records some of God’s Word to all mankind and should be valued as specially preserved truth literally relevant for our lives and a proven example by which we may test all other words
I believe that God chose the descendents of Abraham and his son Israel, to be an example of His working in the lives of mankind
I believe God allowed His Son Jesus, to be born of the virgin Mary, raised to live a holy and blameless life, teaching, ministering, and blessing the lives of people on Earth
I believe that Jesus Christ is The Light of the World and that all people of every nation and generation may look to Him for the Light of Life
I believe that Jesus gathered followers amongst people on Earth, teaching them and bidding them to live by all the Words of God
I believe these followers of Jesus teachings came to be called Christians, and that the assembled meetings of these people came to be called churches
I believe that there is an age of accountability that mankind develops into during life, at which point we are confronted with the opportunity to chose the Light of Christ which enlightens us to do good
If in choosing to embrace that Light, we are convinced of His Truth, mankind may then experience a spirit immersed in The Holy Ghost and true communion with God
I believe Christians should continue to follow the teachings of Jesus by heeding God’s Word (in every way it is revealed) and by assembling together as the church to admonish and encourage one another towards following the Light
I believe in the blessed hope of Jesus’ promise to return for His followers in the Last Day of the Time of Earth, granting them eternal life together with God
" Eternity.When you drop your own concerns. And embrace God.
You are free ".

Leslie Rodgers said… - You made me smile.
Living in a forest is not the fairy tale I would have imagined, it can be damp, and I seem to be allergic to many of the plants that grow here so spring is 'hard to breathe' time for me. Animals nibble the garden or gobble it depending on the size of the animal, and our road is unpaved, half a mile long and steep (about a 45 degree angle). I was snowed in here for weeks at a time this past winter.
On the bright side, it is peaceful much of the time. There are always birds singing, even at night. Rightnow the deer are raising their sweet babies. In the evening we can sit on the porch and listen to the coyotes howling up on the ridge to the west of us. A family of vultures live on the ridge, too, and like to feast on road kill. We often see wild turkeys (67 at once last fall), pheasants, and occasionally apretty red fox. Because there are no street lights here at night we can see every star in the sky.
The forest is a blend of wonderful and frustrating, amazing and inconvenient.

- Magdalena,
You speak the truth easily. And I would enjoy discussing this with more vigor. Alas, I must fulfill other prior obligations first. But don't worry - check your inbox! I've tried to answer you truthfully, see if I fall short? You help me a great deal in that regard.
Many thanks Friend.

Elizabeth Bullock-Rest said… - Yes, John, I am alive and well. Please hold me in the Light. Today I am Clerking the Meeting for Remembrance for the father of a Friend. This is my first time to do this; so I pray that the service is meaningful and comforting to all involved.
One of the other major things preoccupying me now are the multiple tasks and decisions involved in starting my private psychotherapy practice July. So I am calling on all the forces of love, peace and will to pull me through these and other important tasks of my life.
Please hold me in the Light. When things settle down, I will jump into these QuakerQuaker discussions which I so dearly love.
Elizabeth
I have not forgotten you

Mark Davis said… - Hello John,
You are the first person in Australia with whom I've had an online conversation. It's great! Thanks for talking with me.
I don't label myself a Deist, but in looking at my belief system I guess I could easily be categorized as a Deist. My belief system has changed radically over time and I see that as a very good thing. I feel sorry for those who are stuck in their dogmatic religions insisting that their 'holy book' is the written word of God. How silly that now seems to me.
What this world is all about is terribly interesting to me. I think about 'God' a lot and wonder what that really means. When I ponder the enormity of the universe I find it difficult to contemplate a God who is really interested in what goes on here on tiny earth, especially since there are probably millions and millions of other planets with life forms on them.
By the way, I guess I could be considered somewhat of an anarchist too in that Quakers have sometimes been called religious anarchists. How cool!
You seem to be interested in my age. I'm 60, turning 61 in July. The dog I'm seated with in the photo is Habibi. He's a truly handsome one year old German Shepherd Dog. I got to provide foster care for him for a few months in 2008. I was sad when he had to go to his new adoption family.
Peace at you, Friend.
