Rudy Zalesak commented on Nikolas Southwell's blog post 'Where is the line drawn?'
"I'm not sure where you are posting from, Nikolas, but in the US there have been active military members in Friends' meetings for a long time. I have the impression that this is more likely in the meetings that are more "mainstream…"

Rudy Zalesak replied to Stephen Petter's discussion 'Concerned about 'non-theistic Quakerism'. (An oxymoron!)'
"Olivia, no, Shin isn't my tradition, it's just the first thing I thought of when I was trying to think through what you were saying. Resting in God is is a helpful way for you to put it. --- I'd say "I'll try that", but…"

"Olivia and Forrest, I can't find Forrest's blog... where is it?"

Rudy Zalesak replied to Stephen Petter's discussion 'Concerned about 'non-theistic Quakerism'. (An oxymoron!)'
"Olivia, in Shin Buddhism there is a distinction between "self power" and "other power", between trying to be good and just trusting in the "other power" (in that case Amidha Buddha). Maybe this is similar to what you…"

Rudy Zalesak replied to Stephen Petter's discussion 'Concerned about 'non-theistic Quakerism'. (An oxymoron!)'
"Olivia, being the person we *should* is indeed the best way to evangelize. And we don't have to think that we are evangelizing for a movement, or a label. If we are kind, we are evangelizing for kindness (and therefore for God.) Forrest, thank…"

Rudy Zalesak replied to Stephen Petter's discussion 'Concerned about 'non-theistic Quakerism'. (An oxymoron!)'
"Forrest, who is Stringfellow? I feel as though I should know that name but don't. "
5th month 4
Rudy Zalesak replied to Stephen Petter's discussion 'Concerned about 'non-theistic Quakerism'. (An oxymoron!)'
"Forrest, in one of those coincidences that might come "by nature" but strike hard when they happen, I just read that passage from Fox, in "Faith and Practice", last first day. Thank you for reminding me of it. Stephen, I looked…"

Rudy Zalesak replied to Stephen Petter's discussion 'Concerned about 'non-theistic Quakerism'. (An oxymoron!)'
"The "secular world view" is a vague thing to be struggling against. I am not sure such a thing really exists. We are to struggle against the powers and principalities and those are easier to identify (the idolatry of the market, idolatries…"

Rudy Zalesak replied to Stephen Petter's discussion 'Concerned about 'non-theistic Quakerism'. (An oxymoron!)'
"Forrest, you can be fervent and still not be trying to convert anyone. I am pretty fervent about my theological biases and hobbyhorses, as we would probably find if we were talking face to face, but I hope you wouldn't feel as though I were…"

Rudy Zalesak replied to Stephen Petter's discussion 'Concerned about 'non-theistic Quakerism'. (An oxymoron!)'
"As a non-UK, theist-but-sympathetic-to-non-theism Friend, I'm not your intended audience I guess. But why do you think fervent non theism is dangerous? Spiritually dangerous to individual Friends, institutionally dangerous to Friends in the…"

Rudy Zalesak replied to Kathy Summers's discussion 'How does a Quaker explain Easter and Jesus to a child?'
"Kathy, thank you for the question, it's one we have wrestled with at our meeting. Stephanie, thank you for pointing to the passage in Barclay, that is wonderful. "
3rd month 19
Rudy Zalesak replied to Mackenzie's discussion 'Handmaking' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
"I think repairing things around the house, instead of replacing them, is a form of simplicity, one that gets harder and harder to practice. (The difficulty might just be my usual laziness, though, as I *know* how to saw buttons back on, at…"

Forrest Curo replied to Rudy Zalesak's discussion 'Existential Friends, and Essentialist Friends' in the group Liberal Quakers
"Maybe yet another way. Rather than inclusion/exclusion or "Am I good enough?" questions...   Is there a mode of relating to the universe (as much of it as you can conceive & at least speculatively credit) in which these questions…"

"Mavis, I love that quote.  TV dwells on showing us the ocean of darkness (here in the US, anyway). It's hard to stay in touch with the ocean of light and love. Thank you."

"I've been away from QQ for a while and I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner.  Thank you for your thoughts, they opened me up to a different way to look at this.  It's hard for me to know if I am "in the Truth",…"
