Johan Maurer: Trust, the first testimony
To me, trust is SPICE’s missing ingredient, namely the crucial link between faith (or conversion) and discipleship. Without trust, SPICE remains theoretical. Without trust, how can we unbind ourselves from greed, violence, intrigue, autonomy, and elitism? In the absence of real trust, the church drifts back into functional atheism… Tags: quaker testimony witness...

Greg Woods: A Messy Faith- Inclusivity Within...
I want to keep Quakerism a messy community. I want to invest in my fellow Quakers and to keep challenging them to go deeper in their faith, while they challenge me to go deeper. I do not want to be involved in a faith where everybody follows the rules for fear of being expelled. Tags: quaker community youth http://dlvr.it/1B5xxZ

Cherice B: how do we vote with integrity?
Since it’s an election year, this problem is bound to come up again, and it’s something I think about a lot. What do we do, as Friends, when either a) there aren’t any good candidates, or b) the good candidates have no chance of winning, and if we vote for them, the worse candidates are likely to get elected instead of the not-quite-as-bad?

Karen Mercer: How much clothing matters
I know that it might be easy for critics to point out that in chosing religious dress I am merely repeating my own past. It may be so….but now I am doing so consciously. I don’t sneer at people for taking my dress as the reality anymore. Tags: quaker plain http://dlvr.it/192Y8B

Beginning to think Laura and I aren’t the triage priority here in the E.R. Of course that’s a good thing.

Sue Doessel: Primary and secondary messages within...
These are some of the fears we meet if we seek to live by the primary message of Quakerism, that it is possible to be in direct relationship with the Source, and to live our lives in accordance with guidance from there. None of these fears are new. Tags: quaker australia liberal testimonies http://dlvr.it/18qnNM

Jon Watts: Why Being Told I Wasn’t a Quaker Was...
Instead of encouragement, I was surprised to find that my mentor was not only not excited about the prospect of me as clerk, but began to question my involvement in the program itself. At the root of his questioning was my relationship with Quakerism. He distinguished two categories of Quakerism: practicing Quakers and cultural Quakers…and then he suggested that I was the latter. Tags: quaker...

Jon Watts: What’s Your Relationship With Clothing?
If you take a moment to tell us about your personal philosophy, submit a picture and tell us where you’re from, we’ll compile it into a page called “Modern Quakers and Clothing”, and… viola! We’re in a real conversation. Tags: quaker plain http://dlvr.it/18YR9c

The good news is that I figured out what defines a Quaker and so we can finally have a conversation about why you do not qualify and should stop calling yourself such. Tags: Quaker http://dlvr.it/18Mvdg

Do-it-yourself spousal spying: Because tracking devices are (relatively) cheap and easy to get online the “infidelity business” is apparently declining. http://dlvr.it/1853YP
