Recent visitor Faith Kelley writes about the value of reaching across the Friends spectrum over on the FGC Quaker Youth blog:
These stories are troubling in and of themselves, but the more disturbing thing is they point to a real barrier as Friends attempt to reach across the seemingly wide theological and cultural chasms between us. Stories of wild behavior and harm inflicted seem to be the only things we know about each other, the only narrative we tell ourselves about those “other” Friends. We don’t interact with each other often enough to have any other tales to tell.
If you’re of the right age, you can continue this conversation this summer at the YAF 2010 Gathering that Faith is co-organizing.
