Reconciled media accounts. Retaining this one. I’m mostly on Facebook/Instagram for work and ministry, here to connect and learn! #quakers #quakerism #guineapigsofmastodon #bookstodon

@quakers I found this really interesting article in wikipedia, about #german impact on #quakerism : "1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1688_Germantown_Quaker_Petition_Against_Slavery #quakerhistory

@olaf_radicke @quakers — Well, now, I did not say that #Quakerism came out of nowhere. Nor did I say that Fox invented Q’ism. (Though he did have the insights that fired the movement.) And I really don’t see how any of that bears on my earlier comments in this thread! I was talking about modes of evangelism, and describing what worked for early Friends and also works for me. Where Q’ism came from seems to me like a change of subject.

@SeumanOtwal @quakers I think every New Meeting goes through this process: it gathers the existing, bundles it and creates something new. The burning glass is in us when we put our lives under the light. And it's in the group when we respond to that from God. 4/4

@SeumanOtwal @quakers #Quakerism did not come out of nowhere. There were many different groups at the beginning, even before the #Quakers were constituted. Many have the idea that G. Fox "invented" Quakerism. All the elements of Quakerism can be found in parts in other groups and personalities that existed before. G, Fox is credited with bringing the right elements together and giving them structure. 1/4

@olaf_radicke @quakers — You write, ‘I see many people who follow the call of the inner voice….’ But in my own understanding, that still falls short of what #Quakerism is. In our personal lives, it’s not simply “following the call of the inner voice”. In the words of the first Friends, it’s hearing that voice convict (“convince”) one’s own self of wrongdoing, and being changed by it. Just “following the inner voice” makes us smug, even self-righteous. We must be humbled & remade. (cont’d)

EN: @quakers On 4/2/2023 at 06:55, the "Wort zum Tag" (the "Word to the Day" is a radio broadcast) was shaped by the Quakers. In the contribution, most of the time something about Meister Eckhart (Mystics of the Middle Ages) can be heard. At the very end, reference is made to the Quakers unprorammed meeting devotion.

@quakers Am 2.4.2023 um 06:55 Uhr, wurde das "Wort zum Tage" von den Quäkern gestaltet. In dem Beitrag ist die meiste Zeit etwas über Meister Eckhart zu hören. Ganz zum Schluss wird dann auf die Quaker-Andacht Bezug genommen. Hier nachzuhören: https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/programm?drsearch:date=2023-04-02

I found selections from the Journal of George Fox in audio form today. Let me just say it resonates with my soul 💯%!!!! I am going to find a copy of the full journal, and add it to my book collection for sure. #quaker #quakerism

I am looking for #quaker book suggestions for someone who’s just getting started. I’m personally very Jesus and Bible-oriented, so learning about the roots of #quakerism is my aim. By the way I do support the independent investigation of truth (words from my Bahá’í days), and I honor those who embrace other paths. The Light is in us ALL. ☀️🙏🏼😀

#intro - My name is Daniel (or Dani). I’ve been bin-watching QuakerSpeak videos and listening to podcasts, as I seek to learn more about #quakerism . I seek to connect with Friends both online and in person. This path has been calling to me for a few years, and I have just left the Bahá’í Faith. Communing with God and the Inner Light is something I have cherished for many years, and I’d like to get away from religious rituals…and keep it simple/authentic! So here I am 🙏🏼😀

@quakers A new #Potcast from OYM about #quakerism #quakers

The account @quakers also gathers toots by #Friends.

Many #Quakers now tag @quakers whether or not they also use hashtags such as #Quaker, #Quakerism, or #FriendsMeeting.
@MontanaMagpie @cabu

@Annalee (& others) — *Thank you* and ❤️ for the history discussion! You ask, do we believe in continuing revelation?

May I suggest the better question is, do we even know what continuing revelation is?

It doesn’t mean we surpass Jesus in our understanding. It means simple truths dawn on another few dolts in each new generation. Usually slowly.

#Quakerism is a focused discovery process. Yay! But it must be used. Many of us never learn how, & many don’t want to. I agree, it’s a problem.

@cabu — A pleasure to meet you! If you use the search box in the top left corner to search on the hashtags #quaker and #quakers and #quakerism, you will find postings by Friends (Quakers) who are active here.

It seems an odd combination, but I totally believe that #Metal music and #Quakerism are not just highly compatible, but a natural match.

It is about intensity, about being outsiders, and about being content in who we are.

That one is very loud and one is very silent is not actually pertinant.

“Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home unto Itself. Yielding to these persuasions, gladly committing ourselves in body and soul, utterly and completely, to the Light Within, is the beginning of true life. It is a dynamic center, a creative Life that presses to birth within us.” (A Testament of Devotion, Thomas Kelly, #Quaker mystic) #Quakerism

"If we give you a pistol,
will you fight for the Lord?"
"You can't kill the devil with a gun or a sword."Will you swear on the Bible?"
I will not," said he,
"For the truth is as holy as the Book to me."
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be,
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be!
In my old leather breeches and
my shaggy, shaggy locks,
I am walking in the glory of the Light” #quakerism
