Matthew 18: This forgiveness thing is real

Over on the One Year Bible Quaker group, I've posted tomorrow's readings (1/29) with some early Quaker quotes courtesy of the wonderful Quaker Bible Index. It looks to be a good reading: Moses continues to tell the stubborn Pharaoh to "Let my people go," Jesus talks about the wisdom of children and gives his famous parable about camels going through eyes of needles.

But right now I'm… Continue

Presenting a Friends School message

This is from a presentation I gave for Quaker educators attending a "peer group" meeting for the Friends Council on Education. I didn't design it to be independent of the talk but I'll share it here in case anyone finds it interesting!

Presenting at a Friends School (Google Docs Presentation). I also later turned it into a Youtube video:

Dear Martin, we met at Pendle Hill briefly. I thought for your RSS you might like to know that Quaker Earthcare Witness has just opened QEWnet.ning.com to all Friends after an experimental period. You may also use anything from my blog Towards an eco-economy http://mecteam.blogspot.com or the wiki Building a Culture of Peace http://cympeace.wikidot.com

Okay, I musta fallen off at the curve. I miss the meaning of the Dylan Thomas quote on the title for the "Counsel for the Christian Traveler" blog entry....

Would thee be available on IM this evening, Martin?

It seems that I am in the right place then :0) I have been following a leading to the more Christ centered Quaker sites online. I know of Kevin Roberts from the Conservative Quakers Board and from the Quakerinfo board too. I am very happy to meet you Martin, and to be discovering the Convergent Friends. I do not know my schedule yet for summer classes at the University, but if I can make Lancaster in 6th month, I will be there. I appreciate you keeping me advised on Convergent Friends activities in the region and nation. I very much enjoyed the video you posted on youtube about Bible reading in the manner of Conservative Friends. I am mulling over the urge to suggest it at my meeting. Thanks again Martin and have a great day Friend.

Hi Martin, Thanks for writing to me. I am newly interested in Convergent Friends. Are there any other Convergent Friends in PYM? Let me see if I have the Convergent thing correct. It is all about looking back to what some early friends did and coming together from various viewpoints (liberal, Conservative, Evangelical, etc) I feel that I would be hard pressed to label myself as any of those. I am a Christian Friend, but I could find common ground among the other types I bet. I do belong to a Liberal Friends meeting and there are no conservative meetings that I know of. I guess I have rambled on enough for now. If I have gotten something wrong about Convergent Friends, please feel free to correct me.

Good day Martin,
John

Thank thee for the note, Martin!

Actually this evening is not a good time for me. I serve on a committee that is planning some celebration events for the borough where I live, and it meets Third Day evenings. I may try to check in later in the week, though.

The Conservative Friends Gathering is planned for Lancaster, Pa. again, this time Sixth Month 19-21. We would certainly be glad to have thee and thy family!

I will check out the videos too. Catch thee later!

Not sure if this will reach your eyes, Martin, or EVERYONE's eyes... Since I don't use Facebook, I've been a bit lost with this new format. For example, I keep expecting to see the regular list of tagged QQ blogposts FIRST. Has anyone else commented on the placement of the posts?

Hard for this old, semi-Luddite dog to learn new social-networking tricks...
