@@jasonfriesen1876 Francis was a beggar, a soldier and a theif before he was a preacher. He spent 25 (?) years begging for resources to build a tiny community, feed, clothe, house and heal the poor, including animals before himself. The men and women who followed his example built breweries and gardens so they would have the calories to survive giving away everything they gathered, including the ministries, to the poor and the shunned (like the feared lepers). In the 40 days of lent they allowed themselves no food at all, subsisted on chunky unfiltered beer but begged for the ill and impoverished. Consider that in a time of wide spread illiteracy artists, scholars, travellers, and preachers were paid and housed by the wealthy in exchange for their stories. It was real, respected, in demand work to be a good story teller in a time where communication was almost exclusively oral or done in pictures- those hand made books were rare and expensive. Instead of working he kept himself humble in penance for his prior greed and begged. When begging didn't work, he preached. You're right, he was a preacher to the ill in their homes, to the poor in his hand rebuilt chapel, to the birds that gathered in the trees around him and to the people he begged from on the streets. He was the equivalent of a really good street artist in his day. Compared to the golden throne and vast wealth of the church, his life of only posessing a robe, a pair of sandals, a rope, and a stick, sleeping in a cave and living in service to the destitute and dieing... he did a pretty good job with his goal, I think.

I have massive respect for Quakers. They were the first religious group in human history to actually fight against the evil of slavery, when at the time whole swaths of Christian and Islamic groups were up to their necks indulging in the vile practice.

I don’t think that’s accurate. The first Christians were the first to oppose slavery throughout Africa, the Middle East and Parts of Europe, thousands of years ago, and the first to commit the opposition to paper on ancient scrolls included in the bible. As long as slavery has existed, so too have abolition and most other philosophies. But Christianity’s original leader, Christ himself, took a dim view on slavery, and on money changing, adultery, and so on. Even at the beginning, there were problematic people who misinterpreted and tried to pervert God’s word (Acts 20:13-37). They were not representative of God or the views of the church.

As an atheist who is generally antagonistic to much of organized religion, particularly Christianity, I find the Quaker faith a breath of fresh air and an antidote to the toxic psychology of mainstream denominations. It is different in fundamental ways that make all the difference between a social dominance cult that gives rise to conflict and atrocity and a philosophy that serves the peace and well being of humanity. Those fundamental values (I identify them mainly as pacifism and respect for spiritual autonomy) actually serve as mitigators to the pitfalls of most other strains of Christianity.

I am a spiritual gypsy: I was attracted to Sufism because of its alleged antinomilasm, and likewise liked Quakerism, especially its classic proponents like Fox, Barclay etc, and admired the Society of Friends stance on slavery (one of the first tracts against slavery, in the about 1670s, was written by a Scottish Quaker,and just when the rotten business was getting off the ground!). Its libertarianism is appealing, but another of the great libertarian anti-statist sects of Christianity, is the intriguing but hidden tradition of Anabaptism, the radical wing of the Reformation.

Over time I, for lack of a better way to say it, got in touch with that which I understand as god. I now find I enjoy exploring different beliefs and ways of looking at our spiritual selves and that experience. Early in life, hell fire and damnation preachers about scared me to death. I no longer have any fear of death and what comes next. I consider it just a continuing with life in a different way. I no longer have that need for answers I don't have. Also, I am fluid in my belief. New revelations are welcome, but not required. I irritate my Christian friend by saying - you may be right and I may be wrong but until I know otherwise, I stick with what I consider true.

Jesus said, "I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." Among many other things, He also said, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." "Ye must be born again... If ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple... Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I Am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls... And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day... For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?.. Repent ye, and believe the Gospel...I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish... I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins."

I feel so grateful that I found this channel. I’ve been searching for something for a long time, and I think I’ve found it in Quakerism.

As a British Quaker I like this expression of our faith. Unfortunately many of the Quakers in my meeting dislike using the word 'God'. But this video makes it appear that God is the central concept behind Quakerism (which it certainly was in the past). Furthermore, in almost thirty years of attending Quaker meetings I found nobody actually picked up the Bible on the table and read from it. I became so exasperated that I eventually did it (a Friend thanked me for doing so). My point is that this video gives a fair account of what Quakerism could or should be but in practice many Quakers don't conform to expectations.

@@ranguy1379 I'm sure that most Quakers find value in the communal aspects of religion. Indeed, "spirituality" is often defined as a sense of something greater than oneself - and community fits that definition. The fact that Quakers do not define God leaves individuals to interpret that concept in a way that makes sense to them and it is quite possible to think of God as a communal concept. I suspect this is the starting point for many humanist Quakers. Curtis Williford Reese coined the term "religious humanism" to combine the subjective self with the objective universe.

I am very much impressed by this talk. Very beautiful and meaningful way of being.

About fifteen years ago many people were brought to attend quaker meetings because of an online question sorter which asked religious doctrine questions. The questions had nothing to do with these 9 beliefs but were set up to diagnose which mainline religious group you fit into, anyone who didn’t fit those categories was given a result screen which basically implied they might fit with Quakers. I feel cautious with setting out set credal-ish statements like this but I have to admit they need very little tweaking to be united around by many branches of friends. Let’s remember that ongoing revelation compels us to not rest too long here but be open to be present and find the way love needs to be drawn wider in each moment to the measure we have, which is not easy. Thanks Arthur and Jon for these and the clear presentation of them.

I still don't think I'd be one to go to church, but I've always believed that I'm living God's teachings/Will by the way I carry myself and interact with others; everybody deserves to be treated kindly and with respect, and never do unto others what you wouldn't want to be done to you (those are my biggest 2 at least), regardless of personal beliefs. Basically just don't be an a**hole, lol

As an Atheist Quaker - I appreciate this discussion. I don't accept supernatural claims but I accept the cultural values and practices because I believe in the importance of ceremony, cultural and human connection that has a historical lineage. This is why we value human creations of ancient past. If you want to know the mind of a god and what it finds important, study its creation and let your religious practice update to the discoveries of our reality that this god created. Not updating your religious understanding of reality is to value a man made religious idea of a man made god instead of actually wanting to understand the mind of this god and what it valued to place in its creation and how it actually prefers to or not to interact with us.

I’m a Muslim and find Allah in the silence of prayer

Muhammad was killed by allah for being a false prophet- Qur'an 69:44-46-"And if he had fabricated against Us some of the sayings, We would certainly have seized him by the right hand, then We would certainly have cut off his aorta." Sahih al-Bukhari 4428-"The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O Aishah! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison." Muhammad was killed by allah for being a demonic false prophet. Repent and turn to Jesus

Man how interesting I always thought that the Amish and the qackers were the same this is very informative! 🤔😉✌👁

Love it. Walk the walk

My friend i hear what you say and totally agree

Beautiful

Thank you for all Quakers in the world

Oh hey Arthur! I live near you. Probably seen you before hahaha. Totally love the quaker beliefs, I find myself having said all these same things in the past few years before I stumbled upon this video. I've never learned about quakers before. I only started reading the Bible the last 6 months.

My parents and their siblings were Friends. I was raised in that faith and didn't kow it.

Thank you so much for your reply to curiosity of me

Thanks for your great Love of só many years

Spirituality is more of a practice of self cultivation that leads to enlightenment that is the expression of faith, one can meditate, but life expresses ones will.

Very interesting.

I almost went to the friends school in Philadelphia when I was young. My dad wasn’t able to afford it but I remember taking a tour there and my dad secretly being upset that he couldn’t afford the tuition. I wonder from time to time how different my life would be now as a 31 year old if I went to a Quaker school.

Beautiful - He is All That Is 💕

As a Conservative Quaker, I can't believe I agree 100% with this. Great job!

Thanks.

Well done

thank you for helping me write a report on Quakers this was so helpful I didn't even need to do any other research!!

You speak my Truth! Namaste 🙏

I would like to know what these "other sources" are

Y’all are my ROCK. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is what I have learned over my years in Friends (Quakers). If you are interested, go to meeting so that the heart of this will become known in your heart.

I was raised under Protestant Methodist/Baptist viewpoints, but have never really felt like I fit in. Some years ago, I discovered there are several Quaker ancestors in my family tree. I took a random religion quiz tonight online, and the top result for me, out of the many world religions, was Liberal Quaker. Heh. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree... Funny how things are in your blood like that. 🙏❤

Amen! Sending Love vibration to All creation
