Jesus Among Liberal Friends
It's not a secret that I am an ex-Christian liberal Quaker. I didn't leave the faith as a wounded soul with a grudge against every believer, though I acknowledge that there are many out there with that sort of experience. I was raised in a very dysfunctional Pentecostal family and escaped from that drama in my early 20s to a Mennonite intentional community for 10 years.
That community was a most…

feelings of comfort and God's presence
while i know that internet, books, videos can't replace the joy and comfort of actual presence of people i am very thank full for these things in my life i received literature from the Britain yearly meeting. i was amazed they sent it all the way to Ohio USA. it only took 4 days. i wish there were more things around here for people who cant attend meeting but for right now i study spiritual writings and wait in silence(pray) at home by myself
i'm also uplifted by the friendships i am making…

Publicity Works - or at least gets noticed
4 meetings that are doing Quaker Quest in Philadelphia had announcements on public radio and several people came up to me - I was wearing my standard plain blue shirt with the collar button closed - and commented on it. From what they said I conclude that Quakers are known and admired, and that a friendly invitation to a Quaker Quest type event will get a positive response.

William Penn's Legacy
There has been a calling and leading for several years on being a 'spokesperson' and 'reporter' on William Penn's Legacy, which is the title of a book I wrote that just came out. So, in coming across the QuakerQuaker blog site there is the opportunity for sharing this information immediately on a global scale to a larger Quaker/Friends audience.…

John 17 - The Prayer of Jesus
Oh Friends! Sink down into the prayer of Jesus. Follow the threads through the tapestry of the text - a hymn of glory. Here is the NJB:
Father, the hour has come:
glorify your Son
so that your Son may glorify you;
so that, just as you have given him power over all humanity,
he may give eternal life to all those you have entrusted to him.
And eternal life is this:
to know you,
the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
I have glorified you on… Continue

A WAR TAX THAT MIGHT WORK
Everyone is against war. But we still have wars. No one wants to see their son, daughter, nephew, niece or neighbor maimed or killed. But they still are. So what good is a peace testimony except as a means of justifying the existence of the Religious Society of Friends? A peace testimony without peace is useless. It's not even a light in the darkness. It might be a candle, but it's an unlit one. If you want peace it's time to light the candle.

Isolated and Friendless
I was so glad to find Quaker Quaker, it was literally a God send. I'm an attender, not being a member of a monthly meeting. I found a meeting about 45 minutes from my house and I attended. It was the greatest experience of my life. I had also attended a Buddhist mediation group and the experience was not the same FOR ME!! I had finally found what I was looking for and that was the best of both worlds the benefits of mediation but holding on to my theist beliefs. In my mind it was not me that… Continue

The Quaker Diaries: Chapter One- Bringing It All Back Home
I'm thinking about what it would be like to be Jonathan Hibbs.
Hibbs is a distant relative of mine, like 17th Century distant relative. Since I don't have the family history in front of me I will have to go off my recollection in this...Hibbs was a Welsh Quaker who was beheaded by King James in England for refusing to worship at the Church of England and apparently was quite vocal about it.
From my recollection my family, at least on my father's side, were Quakers. Yes,… Continue
