  5. I enjoyed reading this. I'm part of the moment, rediscovering #Quakerism after a 25+ years absence.

  10. @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

  11. @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

  13. @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

  15. 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

  16. 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)

  20. @olaf_radicke @quakers — Well, now, I did not say that #Quakerism came out of nowhere. Nor did I say that Fox invented Q’ism. (Though he did have the insights that fired the movement.) And I really don’t see how any of that bears on my earlier comments in this thread! I was talking about modes of evangelism, and describing what worked for early Friends and also works for me. Where Q’ism came from seems to me like a change of subject.

  21. @SeumanOtwal @quakers #Quakerism did not come out of nowhere. There were many different groups at the beginning, even before the #Quakers were constituted. Many have the idea that G. Fox "invented" Quakerism. All the elements of Quakerism can be found in parts in other groups and personalities that existed before. G, Fox is credited with bringing the right elements together and giving them structure. 1/4

  22. CW: relig: Quakerism

    @friendsjournal I've read a few of the pieces in this month's Friends Journal and it's got me thinking about technology over the centuries and how it's impacted #Quakerism ...Hope to get a full blog post up sometime this week, hoping to lift up a perspective that doesn't seem to be represented in FJ's pieces yet... #Quakers

  23. “Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home unto Itself. Yielding to these persuasions, gladly committing ourselves in body and soul, utterly and completely, to the Light Within, is the beginning of true life. It is a dynamic center, a creative Life that presses to birth within us.” (A Testament of Devotion, Thomas Kelly, #Quaker mystic) #Quakerism

  24. Time to bake a pie for the #Quaker potluck tomorrow. Any #SouthJersey locals who want to try a slice should come to the “Introduction to #Quakerism” class at Cropwell Meeting in #Marlton. Worship at 10, class at 11, potluck to follow. cropwellquakers.org/jan-15-202

  25. Religions I study (open to others):
    #Judiasm
    #CommunityofChrist
    #Buddhism (especially Tibetan)
    #Islam
    #Mormon/#postMormon
    #Bahai
    #Quakerism #RSoF (especially conservative)
    #Zoroastriansim

    How these religions view the world, influence people, build community, interact with politics and government, relationships to #peace, #nonviolence, #war, #extremism/#fundamentalism.

  26. Visited #Portishead #Quaker meeting house today (a different local meeting house elsewhere in Quakers in Britain's #Bristol area meeting than where I normally go).

    7 of us shared the hour of silence, in a place where Friends have gathered since 1670: heritage.quaker.org.uk/files/P (PDF link).
