We can all be Great.

My spouse and I have been fostering 1 child and mentoring another and have been blessed to have a community that has supported us.



But we get these comments like, "you are so great and She is so lucky to have you," which makes me think...we are NOT so great. No greater than anyone in this monthly or yearly meeting. So, I will be asking our Foster Agency and Court Appointed Special Advocates to speak at our second hour one day. I am starting to wish/hope that all our meetings will… Continue

LizOpp: Notes on Being a Quaker

Notes from a Presentation: On Being a Quaker. Very helpful summary of both process and content. 'Originally, I was thinking of what it means to be "a new kind of Quaker" as compared to "an old kind of Quaker."

New York Times Obituary: “A richer and more diversified peace culture than any of us can now easily imagine, an international global peace culture, is there to be built out of the languages and lifeways and knowledge and experience worlds of the ‘10,000 societies’ now spread across the 185 states of today’s world,” she wrote in “Cultures of Peace: The Hidden Side… Continue

Johan Maurer: Friends Attitudes Toward Evil

Johan Maurer: Friends Attitudes Toward Evil. I've no doubt that evil exists, but I'm a lot less sure about its definition. For my chapter on evangelical Friends' concepts of good and evil in the book Good and Evil: Quaker Perspectives,edited by Jackie Leach Scully and Ben Pink Dandelion, I tried to gather some definitions from Friends writings and a survey I circulated in the spring of 2006.

Kevin Camp Boundaries and Guidance within a Spiritual Life
