New non-Quaker blog: Evolt

I just started a new blog as a place to put everything I think about that doesn’t seem suitable for Quaker blog, called Evolt. I’ll write about politics and culture of all sorts there. I’ll explain the name later (there, not here). In case you’re interested, I’m pasting the text of the first post here, […]

Shorts on Quaker ecology + the Green Scare

At some point I want to follow up on the last three posts and their comments – especially taking the nontheism issue head-on – but so far, everything on this version of the blog has been primarily Quaker-related. It’s time I started adding a little g & @ to the Q.

So, next post I’ll address an issue raised by a recent comment – why am I trying to integrate [green] anarchism with this obscure religious movement anyway?

But for now, a few “shorts,” Johan-style . . .

  • I am separated, as to bodily presence, from you; but I cannot forget you, because ye are written on my heart, and I cannot but desire your peace and welfare, as of my own soul.

    And this is my present cry for you. Oh that ye might feel the breath of life, that life which at first quickened you, and which still quickeneth, being felt; and that breath of life has power over death; and being felt by you, will bow down death in you, and ye will feel the seed lifting up its head over that which oppresseth it.
