  7. " . . . to say we love God as unseen, and at the same time exercise cruelty toward the least creature moving by his life, or by life derived from him, was a contradiction in itself." The Journal of John Woolman (1774) #vegan #govegan #quaker #quakers

  9. Modern life pulls our attention in many directions. Messages, headlines, feeds, and demands all compete for the same space.

    Quaker practice offers a different rhythm.

    Sit still for a while. Notice what is present. Listen before reaching for a response.

    What we give attention to shapes how we live.

  15. Conscience can be uncomfortable.

    It may ask us to pause when others rush ahead.

    It may ask us to speak when silence would be easier.

    For Quakers, conscience is shaped through stillness, listening, and community. It is not only a private feeling. It is something we test in how we live.

  16. A new issue of VänNytt has been published.

    This issue includes news from Quaker groups around Sweden, upcoming activities, online worship opportunities, retreats, peace work, and community events.

  17. Being present sounds simple.

    In practice, it can be surprisingly difficult.

    Our attention is often pulled towards what happened yesterday or what might happen next.

    Quaker worship invites us to begin where we are, rather than where we wish we were.

    Sometimes that is enough.

  19. In 1945, thousands of German refugee children were living in camps in Denmark.

    Danes had spent years under German occupation. Helping those refugees was not a popular position to take.

    Quakers such as Elise Thomsen chose to help anyway - a reminder that compassion is often easiest in principle and hardest in practice.

    David Rovics wrote a song about Elise Thomsen's work in post-war Denmark:

  27. Modern society tends to imagine only two ways of organising human life: control or chaos.

    What interested me while writing this piece is how both Quakerism and anarchism push against that binary in surprisingly similar ways.

  29. Working through Pope Leo's encyclical on Artificial Intelligence. About halfway through it and really enjoying it so far and learning a ton about Catholic Social Doctrine.

    The goal is to finish & write a theological response Quaker Religious Thought for June.

  31. Historically, even modest challenges to hierarchy have often been treated as dangerous ideas.

    My latest post explores the overlap between anarchism and Quakerism beyond the stereotypes: consensus, participation, conscience, mutual aid, and distrust of concentrated power.

  33. Attention is becoming harder to hold.

    Most of us move through the day reacting. Messages arrive, feeds refresh, and something is always demanding focus.

    Quaker practice creates space to pause and listen carefully. That can mean listening to other people, to ourselves, or simply sitting quietly for a while without needing to fill the silence.

    Sometimes clarity comes from giving something more time before responding.

  35. I've meant for some time to properly check out #Quakers, the Society of Friends. Now a post I read has nudged me into it.

    Now I'd like to find Quakers I can learn more from. Just interest — I'm already happy with God, and my relationship with Her. Are there any Friends here?

  36. @Aspiedan Nice post; thanks. What little contact I've had with #Quakers has left me with a very positive impression. They seem to be very cool dudes, who always know where their towels are... 😉 😀
