  7. @quakers I want to speak in a discussion group about the topic of "Hell". Do you have any ideas for the #Quaker perspective on the topic? #theology #quakerism

  8. @quakers In German-speaking countries we sometimes speak of "nontheistic" when liberal Quakers no longer have any reference to the Bible. I'm just wondering whether there is perhaps also a "secular Quakerism" among liberals? But wouldn't that just be a "Quaker historical society"? #Quaker #quakerism #theology

  9. @quakers im deutschsprachigem wir manchmal von "nontheistisch" gesprochen, wenn liberale Quäker keinen Bezug mehr zur Bibel haben. Ich frage mich gerade, ob es vielleicht auch ein "säkulares Quäkertum" unter den Liberalen gibt? #Quaker #quakerism #theologie

  10. CW: Quakerism; connection/disconnection

    In fact, Iowa Conservative Quakers—where my formal membership is—are generally very slow to engage in open conflict, apparently out of fear of causing further separation and disconnection.

    It’s a loving community that often meets potentially controversial topics with curiosity and kindness— sometimes to a fault but I’d rather err on the side of connection and mutual care than on the side of disconnection and disdain

  11. CW: Quakerism; connection/disconnection

    I am still reflecting on what my #Quaker meeting (similar to a congregation) discussed this past week. It was a brief history of the discord that had split Quakers in Iowa into either more revivalist/evangelical types or more reserved, “conservative” types (ie conserving the early Quaker tradition)
