Called Out, Called In: Maggie Harrison's Loving Challenge

There is a prophet in our midst, and her name is Maggie Harrison. Rousing many like fire, making my skin itch at being possibly excluded from this club that I don't even belong to, really (when asked if I am a Quaker, I always respond, 'Not yet.'), but want to think I can put on and off like so much-- clothing?And, nakedness. Taking off the mantle of Religious Identity, making space for the un-knowingness of living INTO something, removing armor and scaffold and hard won (or not so hard won)…See More

Rickey D. Whetstone commented on Victoria Pearson's blog post 'Will the Real Christian Please Stand Up? Infighting and Outing Heterodoxy in Rob Bell's Advert'
"All of the prophets of God in the old testament were considered heretics, that had a new revelation about God.   Nothing has changed . . . with religious people since then.   The next generation will praise Rob Bell for his insight.  "

About Me
hi F(f)riends! I am a seeker and lover of Quakerliness. I live and work as Earth Literacy Teacher at Westtown School. I have attended meeting off and on since 1995-- first meeting in Boston at Beacon Hill Friends. I am trying to bring my voice forward more in the blogosphere, as a practice of reflection and an attempt to reach out to others.

I just discovered Westtown School when I was doing a search on Quaker education, quite a place to work! I'm not too proud to say it, I'm a little envious :)

Thanks for joining! I love the "lover of Quakerliness" description--it's deliciously ambiguous. Feel free to jump into the blogs or forum to tell us more what that's about. And welcome again.
