Quaker Quakers

Primitive Christianity Revived Again: A Convergent Friends Community

Martin Kelley

About Martin

Martin Profile PictureI'm a Quaker blogger, web designer and dad living about thirty miles outside Philadelphia in the South Jersey pine barrens. I'm a "convinced" Friend, walking into my first meetinghouse around the age of twenty. I'm officially a member of Atlantic City Area Monthly Meeting of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting though I'm not actively involved with either these days. I served on the staff of Friends General Conference for eight years and Friends Journal for two. Over the last twenty years I've worked on projects with FWCC, AFSC, FCE, PYM and pretty much every other Philadelphia-based Quaker acronym you can think of. I'm occasionally asked to lead workshops and give talks on Quakerism. I've been building Quakerish websites since 1995 and have been blogging since 1998.

I'm the founder and publisher of QuakerQuaker.org. It started around 2003 as a sidebar of my personal blog where I highlighted the day's interesting links. In 2005 I was awarded recognition and a modest grant from the Clarence and Lilly Pickett Endowment for Quaker Leadership to turn it into an online magazine (dubbed QuakerQuaker after a 2003 essay). In 2008 it was reborn yet again as a Ning-powered social media network.

I still occasionally write as the Quaker Ranter and I have a tech blog at MartinKelley.com. You see the daily flow of odds and ends that come across my screen at my "lifestream" blog QuackQuack. Yes, I'm on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

Well of course the whole idea of "ego," "superego" and "id" aren't Quaker terms. They're Sigmund Freud circa 1920; whatever scientific claims he made for them then have long been debunked. They were more rooted in Greek stories than anything else. I…

Hi Charles: I'll join this group myself, as it's one of the better test groups to see how local organizing is going. Every couple of months I get inquiries from seekers in the Bay Area. I always tell them about the Christian Friends Conference and t…

Thanks so much, Martin, for welcoming me to this very fine site! There's so much here, and it has substance! I think that Lewis Benson would be pleased! I've written to American NFFers and suggested they explore the site and also saw that a couple of British workers are already members. Your offer to post the Wyoming gathering is much appreciated. One of us will try posting it, and if it's no go we'll get back to you for help. Thanks also for offering to put The Word Within on the Books page. Have a couple of things to do on that first - like get it back from the printer's and put it up on the NFF site. We should be ready by the end of the month. I'll be registering this week for the Pendle Hill workshop. Thanks again!

P.S. Oops! I left this comment for myself on my own quakerquaker page.

Martin, I just wanted to say that I am grateful for your notice and support of my writing. It is a ministry I feel called to, particularly ministering about community, and I can use all the assistance I can get in learning how to get the word out! I have appreciated quakerquaker more and more in this regard.

Thanks Martin! I'm happy and privileged to be here. It's great to know like-minded folk and seekers are just a click away. Very comforting to be able to read active thoughts and get in the spirit at any time. Lots of good Quaker stuff here!

My mother was the Queen of worry. She died the first week of August 2009 at the ripe old age of 83. She taught me how to worry . . . without a single classroom lesson. I picked up her spirit of worry . . . as a small child. I now know . . . it was a…
