"Thank you Forrest, for your suggestion that what we need may be less "belief" than trust.
That helps me."
"Forrest, your discussions and questions are timely, especially for us where as a silent Meeting we sit in the expectation that God will speak, and yet some in our Meeting say they are nontheist and some even declare they are atheist.

"Hi William,
Thanks for the article on Wilburite Meetings for Worship, which read in snatches over time, and now need to reread before commenting. You give plenty of food for thought and more to ponder."

"Your comments, Keith, and the follow-up comment of William, both touched a chord. You describe my dilemma perfectly. How I struggle with judgement! Tolerance might be easier."

I would like to send you my paper on "Wilburite Quaker Worship: A Ritual Analysis" (not for circulation) when I get it "finished"??? My wife complained that I keep wanting to revise my papers, even after they get published!
