Rufus Jones

January 25th was Rufus Jones birthday. If he were alive today he would be 146 years old. If you have not searched out the writings of this great American Quaker and true "Spiritual Master" please do so ASAP. He is considered by many to be the greatest Quaker thinker this country has yet produced. I could argue even further that his writings have a spiritual depth that is unequalled in the whole of Quaker history.

Presenting a Friends School message

The origins of the Nort Spews ...

By way of introduction, I started my blog, The Nort Spews News & Reviews, back in 2005. This was just before I became a member of the Miami Friends Meeting.

The New Calvanism

Thought folks here might be interested. And I wonder what Convergent folks think about it.

Here's the long article.

Witnessing For Peace In A Violent World: I

On New Year’s Eve, Clare and I saw the 2005 German film Sophie Scholl: Die Letzen Tage (The Last Days). The film tells the incredible true story of Hans and Sophie Scholl, a brother and sister who were students at the University of Munich in 1943 and who with several other brave young people formed the White Rose resistance movement against the Nazis. Hans, who had served on the Eastern Front, had witnessed with horror the execution of Jews by members of an Einsatzgruppen unit, and… Continue

Chasm

The Chasm between the Activist and the Contemplative

 

I can’t remember the name of the blog, but last year I read about a Meeting that decided to have a structured sharing between those who spoke often at Meeting for Worship and those who remained silent.  As I recall the two groups were paired and given time to express their views of Meeting for Worship.  As one might expect, those inclined to be speakers at Meeting for Worship had a lot to say, while those who inclined to…
