Kevin, thanks for hanging…"
Liz Opp commented on Kevin Camp's blog post 'A Greater Reflection on Eldering'"1. I'm concerned that the word "eldering" in this post and its comments is used as a euphemism for "admonishment." Eldering is much more than what occurs in response to a single incident: it involves a long relationship when…"
Liz Opp commented on Kevin Camp's blog post 'Crafting a Meeting Mission Statement'"Why not have the meeting consider what it already is practicing, and put that into the statement?
One of the communities where I worship took the time to craft a similar statement as a way to say "This is who we are."…"
Liz Opp commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Deal Or No Deal?

Liz Opp replied to Barbara Smith's discussion 'New Worship Group near Ithaca, NY' in the group Conservative Friends"I am ever so slowly, nearly invisibly returning to the Quaker blogosphere, and so I've come across your post.
I read it with some interest because the worship community where I most often participate has recently affiliated with Iowa Yearly…"
Liz Opp commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Homosexuality Among Friends [Request for responses below]'"Glad to see Friends chime in about Conservative Friends and Northern YM Friends(and acceptance of me as someone who is in a married-by-Quakers for nearly 12 yrs).
I would like to ask straight Friends this question, while the topic is here: Why use…"

Paula Deming said… Hi, Liz,
Actually, I did write a comment on your blog, but the coded word I was to decipher appeared as only a white block with a red x in it.
The workshop I took was "Called to Discipleship," led by Mary Kay Glazer. I later learned that she is enrolled in the School of the Spirit, and I believe that much of what she led us in was based on what she herself was learning.
The workshop was more Christian-oriented than I have the language for, having been raised an agnostic and picking up most of my Christian understanding off the streets (so to speak!). Or, when I was in college and taking courses in religion, those courses didn't really address the cross per se. As a Quaker of the liberal sort, I really wish to learn more about my cousins across the Society, and it appears the cross is something that means a lot to others.
Yours in the Light, Paula

Dear Liz,
Thank you so much for your report on Margery Post Abbott's talk. I felt it would be rewarding, and you make it possible for those of us who can't go to an event to learn from it. In particular, I have been struggling with ideas of the cross since taking a workshop at the FGC Gathering this summer. Having your definitions in hand--and definitions given by others--is very helpful.
I look forward to hearing more from you on this talk and other events in your life.
Yours in the Light, Paula
