Dear Friends I came to Quakers as a secular seeker, I suppose - though that’s a label-in-retrospect. It was a complete surprise to me to find God waiting for me at MfW. And a wonderful realisation…Continue

Constancy and change in MfW

Dear Friends I came to Quakers as a secular seeker, I suppose - though that’s a label-in-retrospect. It was a complete surprise to me to find God waiting for me at MfW. And a wonderful realisation that instead of filling a gap in my life - as some family and friends assumed - what Quakerism has given me is a way to better articulate everything that has always filled me.

Music and the Arts

Historically Friends worried that music and the arts could serve as spiritual distractions but today many are involved in the arts. Share you work, along with your views of the role of the arts in contemporary Quaker culture. Tag: arts.

""Naught" translates as "nothing."  "Save" in this case means "except." Hence, the line can be translated out of poetic English into prose as, "Be my vision; I want nothing except that." I…"

"Aussie.  Quaker. Isolated.  It seems to be the norm rather than otherwise here.  The liberal rep of Quakers in QLD means I get some strange looks & accusations of being non~Christian when in practice I am usually more scriptually…"

Virginia, 

 

Soul Food is not available for Kindle yet, so hard for me to get in China.  Will look for it the next time I am in the States.

Oh yes, Virginia.  Your thread, but Helen Bayes comment.  I will send her a direct message.

 

I have also emailed WFCC AWPS.

 

Thanks!
