I keep coming back to Moses, so much started there. God had established his covenant with Abraham, renewed it through Isaac and Jacob (or Israel). The descendants of Israel, slaves in Egypt, were being subjected to infanticide. Baby Moses caught the attention of Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him. As an adult, Moses killed an Egyptian who was abusing one of the Israelites, and had to flee Egypt.For 40 years Moses lived the life of a shepherd. Then he encountered that burning bush that wouldn't…See More

Brenda Redshaw commented on Ellis Hein's blog post The Lord's Prayer. Is It Ours? Part IV"Thank you for that Del. It is not clear whether the Friend is a Christian and is using Christ's power to forgive as it mentions Buddhism.

Ellis Hein commented on Ellis Hein's blog post The Lords Prayer. Is It Ours? Part III B"Trust certainly seems to be part of the equation!

The faith…"

Tom Smith said… We have been in the Minneapolis area for about a year. My major connection with NFF is that for 3 years we attended Manasquan MM with Lewis Benson. My father was a pastor in Indiana YM (FUM) and a missionary in Jamaica and Kenya. He was a student of Friends history and tried to convey the living Christ 24/7. We moved to NJ after my PhD in Science Ed and became "convinced" "unprogrammed" Friends especially with Lewis and other members there. I have been a member or "active attender" in FGC, FUM, Independent(Beanite), EFCI, and Conservative Meetings.
We are now "retired" near our daughter and her family.

Hello Ellis,
b.t.w I emailed Tom Smith, but haven't received a reply yet. I'll track him down somehow, as he sounds like an interesting contact.
Regards,
Peter

- Hi Ellis. As I am a bit isolated here in Portugal, and have no meeting to attend, I am always looking for other ways to surround myself with Quakers. Aside from the Bible and my Quaker Reader, the internet seems to be the best way to do that. I am sure NFF will be a help to me, and I hope to contribute to the mission of NFF as well. Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to communicating with you in the future.

- Greetings from Scotland Ellis. I have been a Quaker for just over 20 years and am saddened that some British Quakers do not seem to be interested in the words of George Fox and the early Quakers, they see them as being secondary to their Quakerism. How often do we hear the words of early Friends quoted in ministry? Fox said that Christ had come to teach his people himself, but we rarely hear his teachings or name in ministry either.

- I've been to one NFF meeting a few years back - in Edinburgh. I work in Employabilty - supporting those with disabilities, mental health or substance misuse to get or maintain their employment.

No, it's not my work. It's the abalone inlay on the peghead of my mountain dulcimer. The luthier is Janita Baker.

- Sorry, Ellis. It's rosewood. The luthier told my walnut is too soft for an inlay.
