Opposition to #AtlanticSystem #slavery is as old as the practice and its immorality was always understood. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1775 the first #abolitionist society in North America was formed in Philadelphia, PA, by #BenjaminFranklin, #BenjaminRush. & #Quaker #AnthonyBenezet.

I'm teaching on this wonderful course alongside the fabulous @lilyrchadwick.bsky.social. If you would like a supportive space to reflect on Hannah Arendt's work, learn about #active #hope, or delve more deeply into the contemporary dimensions of #Quaker witness, this might be the course for you. 🌏☮️

Ramakrishna

I need to do some more reading about the history of #Quakerism in India. "The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna" records the conversation of one disciple, Misra. Misra was a #Quaker. He tells the other disciples that he has seen Jesus & Ramakrishna in visions, saying that Ramakrishna was also God. 🪷✝️

Ruaridh the Meeting House cat Young Ruaridh is a ghost-white cat Who lives usually upon the Quaker meeting house stair, High above the bend on Victoria Terrace, He surveys the views, expecting the shambling Quakers, As they shuffle in for another meeting. But it is not a Sunday, so he feels no obligation to attend. Instead another cause must be using the meeting house, Strangers to him, and strangers to the house. These are younger, brightly clothed, hair full shag, And identifiable to Ruaridh as vegetarian by their scent. He watches the heart-fired teenagers troop inside, All out of step, but full of certainty and hormones. A moment later come bouncing pensioners, All in black, long silver witch hair hanging loose. Some are familiar to him, or the other way around, So he leaps from his perch atop tenuous Victorian tiles, Down around a window ledge, then down another, Then, tail wrapped round as counterweight, He descends the final corniced pillar. He follows the last heel through the door, Beginning to twine around recognisable ankles. “Careful Ruaridh!” One old lady says, As he tangles with the folds of her long black cloak. “I’m sure there will be a treat for you if you just sit bonny, Let us get through the meeting.” He pauses for a moment, then follows them up the stairs, The meeting room is large, Some of the younger visitors comment on the view, “All the way to Pentlands, snow still in April.” The view from the roof is much better, Ruaridh knows, The only disturbance being pigeons, And they usually only once, if his pounce is accurate. All round the room the chairs and pews are out of order, Signs with slogans lean against each other And there is talking with uncharacteristic vigour. Some shout, others talk over each other, Some of the young, merely gaze at each other, Barely conscious of the hubbub, noticing only, The ways a tie-dye waistcoat sits, or a patchwork skirt. Ruaridh pays little attention to the

roof is much better, Ruaridh knows, The only disturbance being pigeons, And they usually only once, if his pounce is accurate. All round the room the chairs and pews are out of order, Signs with slogans lean against each other And there is talking with uncharacteristic vigour. Some shout, others talk over each other, Some of the young, merely gaze at each other, Barely conscious of the hubbub, noticing only, The ways a tie-dye waistcoat sits, or a patchwork skirt. Ruaridh pays little attention to the human affairs, Investigating handbag and rucksack, Until he finds one worth bothering the owner of. She spotting his desperate air, reaches in for treasured nibbles. Before searching out, and pawing at the next bag, and the next. Belly full, he jumps to the sunny windowsill, Checks back to the ongoing discussion, Then outside, to count the starlings, And falls contentedly to sleep. GB 8th March, 2026

The Quaker City – George Lippard Audiobook | Dark 19th Century American Gothic & Social Critique Part 1 ⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review ★★★★☆ (4/5 Stars) The Quaker City is a gripping and morally charged exposé of corruption, vice, and hypocrisy in 19th-century urban America. George Lippard delivers a haunting narrative that reveals the dangers of moral decay and unchecked indulgence. Though intense and often grim, the novel aligns with Catholic moral teaching in its stark portrayal of sin, justice, and the consequences of vice. This audiobook stands as both a compelling story and a cautionary tale rooted in timeless truths about human nature.

Definitely Qu/shaker elements in the church

In more fanciful moments, I like to think of Joseph of Nazareth as the first #Quaker. Joseph has no recorded words in Scripture, but his silence is spirit-led & active. He shields his betrothed from disgrace. & when Jesus is endangered, Joseph is faithful to his dreams. He lives from silence.

Im letzten Jahr habe ich begonnen, das Quäkertum wiederzuentdecken - eine Tradition, die mich schon während meiner Studienzeit in London begleitet hat.
Gleichzeitig habe ich langsam meinen Platz im Fediverse gefunden.
Ein Satz von @wess blieb mir besonders im Kopf:
