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…Continue

Good evening Friends, from a gorgeous late-summer evening on Western Australia's south coast. I'm not sure how to or whether this is the right way to post to QQ - I'm a newish member of QQ and a…Continue

Virginia J posted a discussionConstancy 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. I just didn’t have the right words or the right silence for it before. But my relationship with God fluctuates (not, I…See More

Virginia J commented on QuakerQuaker's group 'Music and the Arts'"Good morning from Western Australia.
The notion of poetry being 'a form of Quaker plain speaking' speaks strongly to me. Re the recent review here of BBC radio doco 'Listen to them breathing' - I just missed the…"

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.
Paula Deming replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'""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…"
Denny Barnes replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'"Paula,
China is GMT +8 hours. When you are on daylight savings time, I am exactly 12 hours earlier than EDT. We can use the same clock ;-)
I am pretty much fully occupied with moving and solving some business problems for…"
Ganeida replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'"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…"
Paula Deming replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'"What time of the day, GMT or Eastern Daylight Time, are you there? If it's at a time that I can attend, I will do so. Right now it is 11:42 EDT.
~Paula"
Denny Barnes replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'"Thank you, Judith, Jan Lyn and Virginia.
This is a busy week in Shanghai ... moving, several business issues, etc. When I go to the online worship site at the end of my day, I seem to be there when nobody else is present. Will…"
Judith Walter replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'"Hi Denny,
As far as I know, these are automated. Not too sure why they are there. Try to take note of those that speak to you. I have found the meeting to be a blessing, as I have no nearby meeting,
As a Liberal Quaker, I don´t mind sharing my…"
Virginia J replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'"Yes, I'd like to echo Jan's comment Denny - it just occured to me too that perhaps it was the automatic A&Q/ministry line that took you aback - it doesn't always speak to my condition either.
But then I guess the more…"
Jan Lyn Lewis replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'"Hello Denny,
I am not wishing to intrude. I may be mistaken, but was that a 'real member' that you were in MfW with there or just the automatic minitry that was posted?
I ask, because their is daily automatic ministry from various…"
Virginia J replied to Virginia J's discussion 'Isolated Friends'"Hey Denny - sounds like that online meeting didn't work for you - it's not one I know, soI hope you won't be discouraged and keep trying, ping me offline if you want the link to 'mine' (well, the one I found that works…"

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!
