About Me
Passionate about the Great Transition into the Beloved Community. I still consider Strawberry Creek Monthly Meeting in CA my home meeting, but I'm a far flung strawberry, participating and ministring at Brighton Friends meeting in the UK. Current practical theology: Quakerly 12 steppin' queer Celtic Christianity laced with some basic buddhist practices and Daoist divinations.

Social Media, Privacy and Quaker Experience

Posted on 1st mo. 21, 2012 at 8:44am 1 Comment

So that last blog I wrote about a recent experience at Brighton Meeting's experiments with BM has gotten some great attention - and raised some critical questions about social media and Quaker experience.

Today they did something different. And it shook me to my core. It was as painful as.... anything. So I'm writing about it to you guys as a form of a, this hurt!  'please share this with me'. You know, the way we've been doing for hundreds of years. 

First: I love this…

the harsh truth and the cheerful order

(I wrote this poem after reading George Fox's letter to Friends from which the famous phrase 'walk cheerfully' comes. it is an amazing piece of writing.  I've mixed up the phrases quite a bit.) 

The founder of my faith

'walk cheerfully over the earth'.
The Fox said,
'walk cheerfully over the earth....
spare no deceit. Lay the sword upon it;
go over it....
Spare no place,
no word,…
