...he is wooing, overshadowing, and operating on us to bring forth in us that immortal birth, that babe of divine life, which, when brought forth, and increased in stature, would bind the strong man and cast him out, spoiling his goods, and slaying utterly the carnal mind, the enmity..."

āAre you a man or a woman?ā
āIām the Public Universal Friend.ā
āWhat gender are you?ā
āChristian.ā
āYeah, but whatās in your pants?ā
āThe Inner Light.ā
My friend just got kicked out of her house and doesnāt have a car, Iām currently housing her! We donāt have much room at my house, but Honestly helping amazing people feels amazing. Not only do I get to help my friend get in touch with community resources, but we get to sleep over, have spa dates, get her mind of off things, and enjoy each others company. Itās especially amazing to do after high-school, when we use to see each other every day. It feels amazing to be able to create a space for her!!
Really just reminds me that life is meant to be spent WITH FRIENDS!! SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE WITH THEM!! Thatās why high-school and college feels so fun and fulfilling. Normalize staying at friendās houses as an adult, even if they arenāt in need!! Donāt let work, life, or your partner dim that light!, See each-other more often, Keep having sleepovers, itās a god given right!!
Iām so grateful to get to help her and to be taken over by the brutal-unrelenting- inescapable-universal force that is whole hearted FRIENDSHIP!!
Catholics and Protestants alike get very mad when Quaker theology. Like I'm sorry that I think of Jesus as an all loving being who cares for every person equally even the trannies you don't like. But I'm also like way happier than you and have a more consistent philosophy than you so maybe you should take some notes
I saw your post on why you're lutheran just now, it hits so much of what I love about the church on the head! I am Pennsylvania Dutch and raised ELCA, and I find that the denomination is plain and practical, just like us. We did really learn about the politics of the age of the Bible and Martin Luther's kidney stones. I find too that a lot of the people in my community are more religious than spiritual. Both sets of my grandparents went (when they were still living) or currently go to church frequently, but it was less about their personal connection with God and more about the connection to the community and ritual.
I became muslim almost nine years ago, and admittedly, sometimes I miss being lutheran. It still feels like home in a way that mosques don't. I somehow went to a high school in Pennsylvania Dutchland where all the muslims were gay, but as soon as I graduated I learned that outside of my bubble that just wasn't true. I'm rambling, but I credit a lot to lutheranism for giving me a balanced approach to life, and I think it's one of the most balanced branches of christianity when it comes to tradition and ritual/ progressive ideals.
Hi anon this ask is very old and I donāt know if you even come round these parts anymore but Iāve thought of it often.
I too think we tend to bring balance to place and time, though sometimes I think the church structure does flirt with maintaining respectability above the radical acts of change that our neighbors need. But I suppose that is a risk that comes inherent to institution.
I think Lutherans of generations past fall easily into more religious than spiritual, and I see this changing. In a chaotic world that has little social capital afforded to religion, I am seeing more people come to the church in search of a personal relationship with God. It is a beautiful thing. Then again, I think community is also a manifestation of God and ritual can be a vessel for that. Thereās always a home for you here, even if itās closer to going back to your parents during college, instead of the place you want to raise your own family (if that makes sense).
As for your second ask on pacifism, for me it is thus: I am a pacifist, and I will never tell anyone else they need to be one. I donāt necessarily even think it is a viable outlook on a national defense scale, though if we dreamt big enough, maybe it could be. I will always place the blame at the feet of the systems that ultimately cause violenceā empire, state, rulers, oppressors, and not the people desperately trying to get free of oppressions grasp. That being said, I think even reactionary violence must be carefully used, lest it runs away with itself. I, personally, never, ever want to be a part of the cycle of violence. Even if it is in defense, I donāt want to feed it I want to break it. I spent a night in jail once and saw the way the sheriffs officers treated a woman detoxing from something, and thought about how the way she was being treated there would only and could only make her life after release worse. I never want to be a part of that on any side, I never want to provoke a hand that might hit someone else or tempt an angry man to be angrier. Does this make sense?

Being an ex-Protestant turned Quaker is quite funny in retrospect cause I left the church cause yk everyone was being lowkey hateful bigots and I was just a baby queer wanting to be accepted. All that hate didnāt seem very godly, but I was just a kid so what did I know?
Low and behold years later I figured out all the hateful bigots claiming to be Christians were in fact, just bad Christians who forgot the very important commandment to love thy neighbor.
Imagine forgetting one of THE most important commandments, ālove thy neighborā isnāt exactly hard to understand or remember.
Just donāt be an asshole and treat everyone with respect. Not hard.
My humor is so broken omg.
So Iām a Quaker, right. Yk the brand Quaker Oats?
Every time I see it I laugh cause my brain is like ālook! Das uā
i'm making a new pinned post as i return to this blog <3 hi, i'm remedy, a 24 year old queer (nonbinary lesbian; it/zhe) quaker! this is my blog on faith and progressive religion. id love to make any new mutuals who are of any religion as long as you respect my beliefs and queer identity.
i'm severely disabled and mentally ill, so i talk about how my mental health and disability and faith merge a lot. i have autism, probablynarcolepsy (can't get tested for personal reasons), dissociative identity disorder & treatment resistant depression and these impact my life and my faith significantly.
i'm about to start college for religious studies. it will be my freshman year of undergrad (i'm a late in life learner) but i hope to one day get my masters of divinity and volunteer with trauma/medical chaplaincy to help those who have been through pain and/or illness.
it's nice to meet you all! if you're interested in becoming mutuals, like, reblog or reply and i will check u out ! :D
