Emma Green left a comment for Ellis Hein"hi Ellis
yes you are right. There is even a debate over here as to whether BYM should still use the title "Religious" Society of Friends. Aparently that may put some people off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ellis Hein left a comment for Emma Green"Hi Emma,
Since "Friends" have arrived at their current status by systematically rejecting everything George Fox and the early Friends proclaimed and stood for, what grounds have they to use the name? This is clearly a taxonomical crisis,…"
Allistair Lomax left a comment for Emma Green"Hi Emma,
I'm sorry to hear that you have left BYM, but I hope you won't 'leave' Quakers completely. The treatment of the old Quaker at the conference was dreadful but unfortunately all too common. I'm afraid their tolerance…"
Emma Green left a comment for Tony Haynes"Hi, I'm afraid we have now left BYM. In the end we couldn't cope with the aparent lack of Christ centred fellowship in the wider Quaker Community. The end came for me when at the end of a conference about how to inspire small…"
Emma Green commented on Tony Haynes's blog post Raison d'etre"I completely agree. Its interesting to note that despite our testimonies to equality etc, the majority of Friends today are white middle class and fairly well off and move in similar circles. I wonder then if non-theist…"
Emma Green left a comment for Tony Haynes"i'm sure you would be very welcome. We are meeting of mainly older folk but by and large Christ centred. The general feeling in the rest of Brighouse Area meeting is that we are a bit odd!!!!!
Perhaps Paul and I will come and visit…"
Tony Haynes left a comment for Emma Green"Thank you for your response, Emma. I had debated leaving the society, I feel so out-of-tune with the way it is going, especially after the 2009 BYM. I tried to accept that decisions made there were the work of the Spirit, and that I was wrong not to…"
Emma Green commented on Tony Haynes's blog post Raison d'etre"Hi tony,
My husband and I agree wholeheartedly with you. We are blessed in that our individual meeting in West Yorkshire is Christ centred, but we are shunned by the rest of AM because of it. We have had to endure caustic comments about…"

Thank you for your response, Emma. I had debated leaving the society, I feel so out-of-tune with the way it is going, especially after the 2009 BYM. I tried to accept that decisions made there were the work of the Spirit, and that I was wrong not to support them, but to this day I feel very uncomfortable about it all.
When the weather improves I would like to come over and visit your meeting. You are not that far away. I can't leave where I am now, as I'm looking after a lock cottage for a friend until June. (We're threatened by the river Derwent flooding badly, as I write!)
I've lived on my narrowboat, Dreamcatcher, for eleven years now, and love it. I'm open boat to visitors in the summer and may be cruising to Ripon, then to the Chesterfield canal before returning to Sutton upon Derwent, my winter mooring spot.

Hi Emma,
I'm sorry to hear that you have left BYM, but I hope you won't 'leave' Quakers completely. The treatment of the old Quaker at the conference was dreadful but unfortunately all too common. I'm afraid their tolerance is designed only to extend to them but not from them, which is deeply hypocritical.
If you ever need some unprogrammed, Christian worship, please feel free to join us at Ripley. You're welcome anytime.

Hi Emma,
Since "Friends" have arrived at their current status by systematically rejecting everything George Fox and the early Friends proclaimed and stood for, what grounds have they to use the name? This is clearly a taxonomical crisis, like calling sunflowers "roses" because rose sounds more sophisticated or something. By the fruit you know the tree. I am very sad to hear your account of this incident.

I take it by your comments that you have not given up on the New Foundation Fellowship nor our effort to proclaim the gospel preached by Fox and the other early Quakers. I have found this gospel to be a place to stand no matter what storms rage.
