  1. \x0a LizOpp: Pride and privilege (and credit)\x0a \x0a \x0a
    \x0a

    I know this because I am getting lessons about pride and privilege nearly every day it seems, from different people, over and over and over again. So it must be important and I need to pay closer…

    While church-focused Facebook applications have been around for years, now real-life churches across the country are spreading their messages online, giving more people access to worship services and…

    \x0a

    Factionalism, favoritism, in-groups and gossip do immense, and I would say, often unacknowledged, damage to Quaker institutions and meetings, as well as in the wider world. I’ve seen the “mischief…

    I feel we need to return to those earlier Quaker values it’s a hard road and there are no guarantees but being dreamily positive is no substitute for a realistic understanding of the problems we…

    Over at Facebook we have had long discussions about certiain ones. Sometimes people get tickled, offended or downright inspired. Some in the series are ironic, some silly, some serious. I will let…

  11. \x0a Quaker musician Jon Watts just left from a nice visit to the Convergent Friends South Jersey HQ (aka my dining room table!). Jon’s become world famous as the musician behind Youtube’s most watched Quaker video, Dance Party Erupts During Quaker Meeting for Worship (embedded below). Good conversation about Quakers inside and out, and the tensions between “what Quakerism is” versus “what it can be” and what that means for outreach. The discussion was too good to interrupt with a video interview, but the sketch we made while talking (above) should give you the gist. You can check out his QuakerPoet blog here. Those confused/offended/elated by his video should pay special attention to Dance Party Reflections Two Months Later.\x0a\x0a\x0a\x0a\x0a\x0a\x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a

    \x0a It was also an example of how Twitter reinforces the tendency of adults to behave like high school students, passing rude notes, spreading exaggerated rumors and obsessing endlessly — and pointlessly — about who said what mean thing about whom.\x0a

    Behaving badly online. The only qualm I have reposting this quote is that high schoolers often aren’t nearly as bad as the most vitriolic adults.
