Mackenzie replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'Electing an American President'""almost"?
I have no doubt that political positions are bought. Just look at how much is spent on advertising, SuperPACs, etc!
I've given to a third party candidate whose platform includes non-violence and a push for equality. I know…"
James M. Branum replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'Electing an American President'"I may change my mind about this, but I likely will not vote for President this year.
If I don't support war or militarism in any form, then I question why I am voting for the man who will be the "commander-in-chief" of a system I…"
Alice Bejnar replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"There have been so many rich responses here. I'm coming to this discussion late, but hope this might contain something helpful.
It seems only sensible to me that the adults in a meeting are communicating and listening about how the…"
Nat Case replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'""Here is why I am telling you this story: This is an important story. If you want to understand Christianity, you need to understand the Passion and the Resurrection. They have been the single story at the heart of Christianity for almost 2000…"
Cathy Barney replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"Funny you have this question, Kathy, and it's a great one ... I know from teaching first day. I just posted a blog using a story I wrote about Easter for my daughter when she was 6. You may find it helpful. Bless you for looking outside the…"
Ken Baxter replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"I wonder if those who 'take offense' do so because they may feel judged by some folks who are pretty adamant about their view being the 'right' view. I know I can get a little prickly when someone starts in with 'you're…"

Jim Wilson replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"I'm having difficulty with this thread. This kind of question is why I often feel that there is a shadow side to Quaker Universalism. It isn't really as open and accepting as it likes to present itself: it seems to make…"
Joan Gunn Broadfield replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"Kathy, I'm curious if you have found the variety of responses here helpful? I'm mystified how my response has disappeared, and confused at the latest response which decries the variety of ideas - and seems to have found negative criticism…"
Loren Pierce Coleman replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"First, I would like to say that I have never posted on a 'blog' before, and reading some of the responses to Kathy's question does not make me want to start. I don't know if it is the medium or what, but I am hesitant to post…"
Joan Gunn Broadfield replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"Johan, my experience as a child of hearing this story from the bible in a sunday school was horror and fear. My mother undid the damage by talking to me about the bible in very general terms, and we talked about spring, new beginnings,…"
Rudy Zalesak replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"Kathy, thank you for the question, it's one we have wrestled with at our meeting. Stephanie, thank you for pointing to the passage in Barclay, that is wonderful. "
Tom & Sandy Farley replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"One place to start is the story of Passover and how Jesus and his disciples gathered for a seder as observant Jews still do today."
Johan Maurer replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"Young children may already be intuitively aware that resurrection is real, so I don't believe the First-day school teacher needs to worry about nuances. Just tell the story as it is, using whichever account speaks most deeply to you. It is an…"
Mackenzie replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'"You can even take a moment to explain that the reason Friends have historically rejected Easter as a Pagan holiday as that those chocolate bunnies are in their baskets because in parts of Eastern Europe, they worshipped a goddess named Eöstre,…"
