At the book launch in Abington, #MarcusRediker vowed that Benjamin will never again be relegated to obscurity. Markel, Rediker, and Bachman had come from a future generation to retrieve Lay and tell the story of this hidden #Quaker, to tell, as Rediker describes it, this *history from below*.

Some really hardcore terrorists seen in #London on Monday, at the #DefendOurJuries demo outside the #HomeOffice, against the ban on #PalestineAction. Many of these extremist #Quaker terrorists promote the sinister ideology that #genocide is somehow a bad thing.

But the #MetropolitanPolice #MetPol were out in force to make arrests, and thereby protect Londoners from the scourge of peace.

Wanting a book club recommendation? We're enjoying 'Don't Forget We're Here Forever: A New Generation's Search for Religion’ by Lamorna Ash .

A few of our local Friends have read this lovely and thoughtful account of the author's exploration of Christianity in an increasingly secular world.

She writes about her attendance at #Quaker meetings and how the silent worship affects her in a way that feels so familiar to many of us!

Did you know that our local #Quaker Meeting has one of the most diverse range of ages amongst groups in our part of Scotland? We welcome children to our Meeting and have a program of events to enhance their spiritual and moral education. Please contact us in advance if you would like to bring your children along to Meeting as there are some days when we venture outdoors!

@rockToamna @HerrPfarrerin cool, das ihr in dem #Podcast auf die abweichenden Positionen der (historischen) #Friedenskirchen Hinweist. Hier eine Anmerkung. Für die meisten traditionellen Friedenskirchen stimmt die Aussage, das sie sich von der staatlichen Verantwortung/Beteiligung fern gehalten haben, weil diese als "weltlich" und "sündig" betrachtet wurden. Das gilt aber nicht für die #Quäker ! Diese hatten in Pennsylvania für ca 80 Jahre eine (sehr liberale und tolerante) Theokratie. Ohne Wehrdienst. Für die frühen Freunde (ersten Quäker), war Christus schon zurückgekehrt und die neue Welt angebrochen (also eine #Endzeitgemeinde). Die Welt war aus dieser Perspektive nicht erlöst, aber "in erlösung begriffen". Das #ReichGottes war angebrochen. Wenn du Waffen gebraucht hast, standest du auf der dunklen, der nicht erlösten Seite der Welt. Warst du wehrlos, dann "wandeltest du im Licht" und warst Teil der Neuen Welt. Das ist der theologische Ausgangspunkt.

@falkirkquakers I've read this one and absolutely loved it. It reminds me a lot of how I came to #Quakers, myself! http://www.techaddiction.co.uk/2021/03/a-quaker-journey/

Lots of going to different churches because I wanted the community but I struggle with the blind faith, dogma, and hypocrisy that weighs down so many churches. Fell in love with Quakers because the silence rather forces you to consider these things yourself. The community really live their values else you end up sitting in silence reflecting on your regrets!
