A lot here to respond to, but I want to affirm Adria Gulizia's comment above about the historical meaning of the cross to Quakers. To me, it's a reminder of the price I have to pay to be faithful -- it's kind of like Frodo Baggins seeing Mt. Doom in…
Not to divert too far from Rich's original piece, I want to note that Peace Pilgrim did indeed have quasi-Quaker connections, and this Quaker has a poignant quasi-connection to Peace Pilgrim: In July 1981, she was visiting the Methodist Church in wh…
I love Star in the East. Southern Harmony has a lot of really beautiful tunes - other favorites of mine are Consolation, #17, Condescension #312, Tender Care #331, and The Turtle Dove #43. I live near Green Bay, WI - if anyone is ever in this area,…
I agree with you. They are songs first. I just haven't found the opportunity to join a shape note group.

It's good to see you here (and to see you on my list of friends). I've been thinking about your recent comment on my blog and hope to say more soon about why it is that some Friends "have a hard time saying so" (that they believe in God) and what those who do believe in God can do about it.
