A Quaker In The Zendo

A Quaker In The Zendo

Php 370

BY STEVE SMITH
"At a time of my life when I had drifted far from my Quaker origins, I found the practice of Zen meditation to be clarifying, healing and liberating. Curiously this Asian spiritual practice led me back to the Society of Friends: the more I practice Zen, the more thoroughly Quaker I become. The spiritual insights of Christianity and Quakerism have regained for me fresh depth, power and charisma. Within the earliest records of Quakerism, in the writings of George Fox and other early Friends, I find - to my wonder and delight - remarkably explicit guidelines for spiritual practice that are often diluted or obscured in contemporary unprogrammed Friends' worship.".

Quaker Journals

Varieties Of Religious Experience Among Friends

BY HOWARD BRINTON
For over three centuries Quakers have used the spiritual journal to record their spiritual life and journeys. Some, especially those of famous Friends, were published; others lay in attics or on the shelves of libraries. Here Brinton looks on them as a whole class for the first time, stressing the importance of examining the original unedited texts. He shows the reality of Quaker ideals and testimonies as actually lived by Friends through the ages.

Quaker Racism

Quaker Racism

The 48th Walton Lecture

BY DONNA MCDANIEL AND VANESSA JULYE
Certainly based on their book, Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship, the SEYM pamphlet Quaker Racism spurs action. First the speakers presented gut wrenching historical information, then how-to information on what an individual and group can do to address the issue today. This is a great introductory discussion book to the topic of present-day, ongoing racism. One participate said, "Vanessa Julye and Donna McDaniel worked with us to explore the ongoing nuances of racism and how it impacts us in insidious ways we would consciously reject if we were aware."

Quaker Ranter Reader

Quaker Ranter Reader

Essays From The Website Of Martin Kelley Aka The Quaker Ranter

BY MARTIN KELLEY
This book is a collection of posts from one of the most popular Quaker bloggers. "The true gift, to me, of Martin's ministry through Quaker Ranter is the opening of a space for people to have these conversations about their experiences. What's wonderful is how the conversation frequently focuses on how people approach naming their self-understanding, and then their subsequent experience of how well - or not - that self-understanding relates back to the local and wider Quaker communities." - Chris Mohr
