Jetzt geht es gleich weiter mit der #bahn unter den Ärmelkanal nach London. Ich wurde mehrmals aufgefordert 1,5-2h vorher einzuchecken. So jetzt bin ich pünktlich 2h vorher da, um dann festzustellen, dass das Terminal erst 1,5h vorher auf mach. 🤦Supi!

Musste in Umweg über Oxenholme nehmen und bin jetzt, nach dem ich das letzte Stück noch mit dem Bus gefahren bin, nach 9h angekommen. Schön hier in Glenthorne Centre. Sieht ein bisschen aus, wie bei .

Von Oxenholme ging es mit den Schienenersatzverkehr weiter nach Carlisle und von dort weiter mit der #Bahn nach Newcastle. Am Ende habe ich 4,5h für die ca. 105km Luftlinie! Kaum zu glauben, dass das das Land ist, in dem die Eisenbahn erfunden wurde! Aber das Glenthorne #Quaker Centre kann ich empfehlen. Und auch Ben Pink Dandelion macht sein Job super sympatisch! @quakers

@quakers die Deutsche Jahresversammlung hat wieder mal das Heftchen "Ratschläge&Fragen" überarbeitet. hier ab dem Bild ist die Evolution zu sehen 2007, 2013 und 2022. Wirklich große Buch-Projekte sieht man leider schon seid vielen Jahren nicht mehr. Eigentlich Jahrzehnte.

Three Rivers worship group became a monthly meeting of New England Yearly Meeting on Saturday. I keep hearing the birth metaphor being used to describe this event, but I don’t know if that really resonates for me - does that mean it had been gestating up until now? Maybe I’m too literal. In any case, there was a lot of pain and conflict around the process, and much healing work remains to be done. I’m reading Sandra Cronk’s Pendle Hill Pamphlet on Gospel Order. https://archive.org/details/gospelorderquake0000cron #quaker

Do I want to go to Meeting for Worship ( Meeting) or do I want to take a nap. Both involve resting, getting energy, and tapping inner resources. One will take some effort during (worship) and one will make me feel yucky for a while after (napping). I don't know.

In the midst of all of the horrors, I feel so warmly supported by my community as we gather in solidarity to hear from Friends who have researched the latest news and reports from progress in raising attention to our US congresspeople and others who can affect change.

I got to learn about and try this easy-to-use web form from AFSC -- which in no way puts words in my mouth, rather it streamlins the process of making my voice heard

@quakers im deutschsprachigem wir manchmal von "nontheistisch" gesprochen, wenn liberale Quäker keinen Bezug mehr zur Bibel haben. Ich frage mich gerade, ob es vielleicht auch ein "säkulares Quäkertum" unter den Liberalen gibt?

olaf_radicke,
@olaf_radicke@quakers.social avatar

@quakers In German-speaking countries we sometimes speak of "nontheistic" when liberal Quakers no longer have any reference to the Bible. I'm just wondering whether there is perhaps also a "secular Quakerism" among liberals? But wouldn't that just be a "Quaker historical society"?

@quakers Does anyone have any suggestions for Bible study with a Quaker perspective? The only one I know of in German translation is "Twenty Questions About Jesus" by John Lampen. #BibleStudy #Quaker #books

I really, really like the idea of the fediverse. The transformation of facebook from a place centered around my connections to friends and family to one infested with ads and algorithms pushing more extreme content was crushing for 20 year old me who wanted to believe deeply in the potential of the internet to transform society for the better. However having hardly any connections here and not being able to import contacts feels daunting.
