"Matthew,
I appreciate the time and effort you put into looking at the texts. I will spend some time working through it.
Best,
Keith"
"Dear Keith
I think the Turks were seen as posing an existential threat to European Christendom, having once reached the walls of Vienna, with this being about religion more than race. Europe is multi-racial (Gaelic, Nordic, Slavic, etc.) and I would…"
"Dear Keith
How are you? I hope all is well. I have been very consumed with my post-graduate Quaker studies work and the professional work I am doing in relation to the pandemic; QuakerQuaker went out of my mind until I had two emails from someone on…"

"Hello Matthew,
Thank you for sharing your reflections on the United Kingdom's disassociation with the European Union. I have followed this issue through the years and have a couple initial questions.
Can you confirm that the UK's original…"

Many of us have discerned that this is the wrong thing to do as:We hold dear William Penn’s call for a “a general dyet, estates or parliament” for the nations of Europe for the promotion of peace and cooperationThe deciding Referendum was awash with lies and racism and has emboldened those who attack minority groupsOur emphasis as Friends is on peace and prosperity and not national pride…See More

"Hello Jeff - I'm a British Liberal Quaker but interested in Evangelical Quakerism, and am doing a comparative academic study between BYM and NWYM (the later having split over the issue of same-sex marriage in recent years). I understand that…"
