Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
Good Mourning!!!
"To fall into the contemporary habit of removing all objective content from our faith and practice, and then asserting that what remains is Quakerism, seems to me the theological equivalent of making a desert and calling it peace"(from John H. McCandless' "Quaker Understanding of Christ")

What matters is not whether it is silent, but whether it is worship.
Consider my Faith & Practice's description of what that idol 'Simplicity' ought to mean: "A life so centered in God that all things take their rightful place." If someone can arrive at that, whether to call it 'Quakerism' seems a trifle irrelevant.
God and God's assorted peoples have been interacting for one very long time, evidently having occasional misunderstandings along the way... This doesn't mean we should ignore their experience or whatever insights we can recognize, or try to do things the same. But we do have to start by learning how we got here, lest we end up having to start from scratch.
