Since March 2014, QuakerSpeak
has been posting videos each Thursday “…to give viewers worldwide an experience
of contemporary Quakerism that is entertaining, informative, inspiring,
challenging, inviting, unifying and collaborative.” So far, this project of
Quaker Voluntary Service, Friends
Journal, and Friends General Conference has produced short (three-to-six
minutes) videos on a range of topics including silence, nonviolence,
homosexuality, and women in ministry. This week
Sounds like there’s still work to for people to understand
Quakerism. QuakerSpeak will help
with that.
“Afterthoughts” are my blog
version of a practice followed in some Quaker meetings. After meeting for
worship ends, people continue in silence for a few more minutes during which they’re invited to
share thoughts or reflect on the morning's worship. I’ve adopted the form here for last-day-of-the-month brief reflections
on headlines, quotes, comments overheard, maybe even bumper stickers.
