An SD Friend's Place: Oops!

Does God Need Friends? What For?

This site is a place where Friends (and others) may disagree agreeably.

It does not speak for any Meeting within The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers.) Therefore it can go beyond what we've agreed on between ourselves; we hope people can talk freely here about the world, our place in it, what good we might be for ourselves and others.

What you see here will include some material from our Faith and Practice, some by regulars at our two local Meetings. Comments may be from any sincere well-meaning person.

A link to this post indicates that we fully intend to take up the subject you were looking for; the site is still under construction and we'll get to your subject when we're ready to do it justice.

Advices & Queries

These are in our Faith & Practice (a book which local Meetings within Pacific Yearly Meeting periodically revise to reflect our best sense of what our faith is and how we should be practicing it.)

Each month we're given one set of these Advices and Queries, to consider whether we're still within specs, and how concerned we ought to be about that...

The first such list of Quaker guidelines was in the elders' epistle from the 1656 meeting at Balby, which suggests: "Dearly beloved Friends, these things we do not lay upon you as a rule or form to walk by; but that all, with a measure of the light, which is pure and holy, may be guided: and so in the light walking and abiding, these things may be fulfilled in the Spirit, not in the letter, for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life."
