Friends from the Watford (UK) Meeting give their opinions about whether Quakers in Britain are Christians

A humorous little ditty about a common misconception that many Quakers face. Rob Jones sings "We're Not Amish".

Slash prints from Jan De Hartog's series on the "History of Quakerism". Originally produced in the 70's for Danish television. This is an excerpt from an English version which was never edited and therefor never seen publicly. I am currently in possession of the original 16 mm negatives from the unseen English version as well as slash prints (beaten up prints that were made for a rough edit) which I have been transferring in small sections at LIFT in Toronto, Canada to spark interest in the restoration of this unique educational series. The film to video transfer process is very pricy and time consuming. If you would like to offer financial assistance please contact Chuck Fager, the Project Coordinator at chuckfager@aol.com or if you have questions about the transferring process please contact myself, Bennett Jones-Phillips at resistcontrol@hotmail.com. Enjoy. There will be more clips to follow.

In response to (and adoration of) Step It Up 2007 and the 1Sky Campaign

Quakers & Catholics demand that US stops enforcing immigration laws. Lou Dobbs obviously doesn't agree.

A young Quaker talks about her faith.

William talks about his faith in Manchester, UK.

Here I Am: Understanding and Shining My Inner Light. We chose this theme because it seems timely in a troubled world where individuals can burn out in desperation at the many fronts needing action. Friends know the joy and the terror of taking on an individual leading, the security of our F(f)riends support, and the creative strain of conflict. How can we base our actions in Love and let that shine forth, no matter how the people with whom we share our gifts are reacting?

These three Friends shared part of their life's journey and reflect with great honesty about the role of following the light and leadings along the way. Dave_Hackett is part of Kickapoo Valley Monthly Meeting and lives in the testimony of Simplicity. Josephine Yanasak is a teen from Milwaukee Monthly meeting and recounts her challenges and rewards of urban life. Kat Griffith is a member of Winnebago Worship Group and is working on race inclusivity in her community in Ripon.

After the Plenary presentations the assembled broke into small groups to share their experience of leadings and the challenges involved in faithfully discerning and following where Spirit Leads.

Ola Uduku Kumasi (see her diary/blog at Ola's Diary talking about quakers: "I think probably Quakerism to me is the silence. When I think about things, especially when I'm busy, it's a time I have to be peaceful and to think about what life really means and that's very much what you get at a Quaker meeting. ..."

For a US History Project we had to make a five minute commercial about why the Quakers in the Middle Colonies of the Colonial Era were better than the north or south. It is a very funny film staring superspeed native beating and a transvestite Scarlett O'Hara.
