Calling Isolated Conservative Quakers

         Nine years ago, upon reading the precepts of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), we knew we had found our own peculiar home. In reading these precepts, our inner knowing answered back. Christ is our foundation, and the light that lights every man. His words, along with his spirit, light our path. Our testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, remind us of the lessons of our Lord and remind us to act on those lessons in practical ways.
"Worshipping in Spirit and in Truth"
         Though we seek to blend with others, we have a distinctly unique calling or message. And while we encourage all to follow the Light they have been given, we too seek encouragement for the Light we have been given.
          We are always seeking fellowship! Infact, that is how this blog came to be. Because we know not where others are, we seek to let others learn where we are!
          Fellowship has so many blessings! Let us see if we may walk together!    

Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
                                            
                                                Proverbs 27:17
    Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

     We feel sure there are others like us. We wish there was some way that isolated Friends could network with one another easily. Just knowing other families are out there and visiting when opportunity allows would take some of the isolation away.
      As of now, we love to encourage our friends in Christ as we travel along the path the Lord has lit for each one and continue to wait upon the Lord.

  1. Communicating via letter would be a good form of networking without the internet and knowing the lifestyle of the one you can accept that the mother of several on a farm or a lone friend in Alaska during wintertime will not be writing several times a week or month, a good way to practice patience. I’m sincerely interested in your take on equality in terms of the traditional roles of a women like yourself in the context of equality in the workplace , doing hard manual labour or being treated like a man also where in your opinion does equality come into being with those who are lgbt, mainstream Quaker carry out lgbt “marriages” as do society , lgbt having children etc etc .. equality is a challenging thing as equality doesn’t exist in God’s creation a man cannot bear a child in his womb nor can a women usually grow a beard or develope an Adam apple lol , what’s Godly equality and demonic equality
