Geoffrey,
Thank you for your message. I've been in contact with two Conservative Friends here in Kentucky; I'm not sure if they're the two families that you mentioned.
I live in the south-central part of the state and would enjoy staying in touch…
Thomas,
Several Friends have already provided some wonderful responses to your post. I would add my encouragement that you contact OYM if you're interested in learning more about the affiliate membership process. I did so myself several months ago…
Faye,
It's good to hear from you as well. This site is a great way to connect with Friends that one might otherwise never interact with. The communications that I've had with OYM have been, and continue to be, a great source of support and inspirat…
Raye,

So today I bought my first bonnet. I'm taking my first step on fulfilling a conviction I've had for years, I'm going Plain, and I feel like a pre-schooler on their first day :)
My husband says he is supportive and that means a lot to me, first off…
For 'my' Meeting's Quaker Quest event, I've been asked to speak for 7 MINUTES !!!! on Quaker Spirituality, with some about my own (gag) spiritual journey. I'm sorry to use that phrase. It was what I was asked to do. Now, how on earth or heaven or ev…
It is difficult, and sometimes disheartening to live, work, and interact with the wider world and culture that is contrary to Christian living. Every day in the media, news, films, and television we are exposed to selfishness, cruelty and so-called…
