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 a member of Atlantic City Area Monthly Meeting, Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. 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.

Hey Dan: better pay is good. And in the meantime, FWCC decided this was something worth doing, sent me their database and: http://www.fwccamericas.org/friends/ The opening map is just a way to get into the regional maps, which are true Google map ...

Co-led by QuakerQuaker's Martin Kelley and C. Wess Daniels Friends have long sought to model tight-knit, intensive faith communities. Lately, however, much of Quaker life has devolved into bland institutionalism, endless committees, and hour-a-we...

Good question. All of QuakerQuaker is a good place to discuss and share from a variety of perspectives. There's no official position on anything. Friends of all sexual orientations are active participants and very very welcome, but I think Friendl...

Hi Ben: I'd love to hear about anything you all learned through Quaker Quest and if there's anything you'd do differently. I'd love to see you all experiment with different forms of advertising (e.g., target Facebook rather than scattershot NPR) a...

If memory serves right you'll want the Penney or Nickalls editions. Some of the editors of the first editions edited out things which were then seen as embarrassing. The more modern collections rely on fuller source manuscripts.

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!

I really enjoy your writings and videos! I'm a new quaker, of the conservative flavor. I'm interested in plain dress and simplicity in in general. I'm a lone Quaker in La vista ne!

Thank you, Martin! You are so good about sharing Quaker news, no matter how small ;)

WHF has re-energized me and my spirituality. They are the meeting I have always been looking for :) It took our whole family moving back to Portland to be able to attend, but I am so grateful we have a church home. It is cool you know some of those folks, too. We also look forward to paying a visit to Wess in Camas, as he is just over the river from where we live. Lots of fun stuff ahead!

Hope all is well with you and your family, btw ;)

Wow. As one who loves colour I would love to experience such an event. I saw recently in a National Geographic magazine a picture of what looks like a lifeless arid desert and next to that picture an amazing green, lush vibrant landscape. It seems...

So are these poems spontaneous as a way to describe your experience in the context of this message topic OR were they written previously as your own mystical experience in the moment?

would you like to share here? or privately?

Lovely. I have often wondered how others experience speaking in Meeting for Worship and being moved to speak. Similarly I found myself trembling with some 'nervous' energy that almost jolts me to stand up - as if to say - "If you don't stand up a...
