About Martin, QuakerQuaker's publisher

Martin Profile PictureI'm a blogger, web designer and dad living thirty miles outside Philadelphia in a small town in the pine barrens of South Jersey. I'm a "convinced" Friend and member of Atlantic City Area Monthly Meeting of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. I've served on the staffs of Friends General Conference, Friends Journal and New Society Publishers and over the last twenty years I've collaborated on many projects with many Quaker organizations.

In 2011, I returned to Friends Journal as editor.

I've been curating online communities and blogging since the mid-1990s. My writing has been published or featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Atlantic Monthly and USA Today as well as a number of Quaker publications. I've been blogging as the Quaker Ranter since 2003.


I'm the founder of QuakerQuaker, which started around 2003 as a highlight of 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 2010, I co-launched the Quaker Ad Network. I'm occasionally asked to lead workshops and give talks on Quakerism.

I used to drive a school bus and I remember how my hair went grey and wrinkles grew. So I trust its not one of those buses. The ones I went on in Latin America also carried chickens and goats along with people, now wouldnt that make for interesting…

Martin Kelley commented on Kevin Camp's blog post 'Addressing Meeting Discipline'
Great thread. I left the closest meeting to my house in large part because of a disruptive member who everyone agreed was disruptive (the incidents were also a tipping points for my wife's departure from Friends, so it's the loss of our…

Sometimes editors just leave out the "Jr."  I did write that 1954 article on "Which Way Peace?"

 

My "senior" was Thompson V. Palmer, a Quaker botanist, nurseryman, and landscape gardener -- with the greenest thumb ever, a strong interest in consumer co-ops, and not the faintest interest in theology!

I do want to set up feeds for both of my radio shows - is it possible to set it up to automatically draw from my feeds for the 2 shows?

Dear Martin,  Glad to finally connect with this site.  Thank you for all your work creating and maintaining Quakerquaker.  It has become an important part of the fabric of our Society.

 

Yours in Christ, Christopher

Thanks, Martin, for featuring my Insight Trails interview with Martin Kelly on Quaker Quaker. It created a nice boost in visits to the blog -- testimony to the QuakerQuaker community -- and inspired me to (finally!) create my QuakerQuaker page. I look forward to being a more active member. Keep up the good work!

Daily Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 28 and Galatians 6

Deuteronomy 28 – If you obey the voice of God by observing the law, you will prosper.  Disobedience will bring destruction (28:45). The big word in this chapter, as in others, is if or “provided” or “so long as.”  This is the great condition that hangs over the redemption people.  The word does not disappear under the new covenant either as we sometimes like to think.  “You are my friends if you do as I command you.” (John 15:14).  The convincing power of the gospel is not in its syllogistic…See More

Hello Evangelical Friends. I have just de-listed from the Liberal Quakers. I pray that they still know me. But I pray that I will know you.

Where ministry meets livelihood

Listen to this post: http://www.turtleboxstories.com/audio/whereministrymeets.mp3 Yesterday was sandwiched between a traditional Bible study and a new women's group on astrology and archetypes. Could I have chosen anything more different? One is an ongoing study of Luke that my mother initiated in December with, mostly, retired women. I felt called to join because when else might I have the chance to do a Bible study…See More
