Re: Coronavirus Outbreak
"Yet, it seems just because President Trump is promoting it, many seem to want to resist it even though it may be very helpful in treatment, not cure, but treatment." I read a wrapup on hydroxychloroquine that many physicians are prescribing this drug for themselves and members of their fa...

Re: How to be Church in the days of COVID-19
Josh: You've got me beat! I only take six prescriptions. But then, I take various non-prescription "drugs".

Re: Quakers and Anabaptists
Hello , Susan Ann! I am not really any kind of expert about the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing), but I think it is probably part of the "Wee Folk". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Church_of_Scotland_(Continuing) Sort of the Scottish Presbyterian analog of the Conservative Frien...

Re: Quakers and Anabaptists
WFR: By the way, did you know that Donald Trump's mother came from the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, a bastion of "Old Order" Calvinism. Until the last 50 years or so, their church services were conducted in Gaelic (Gal-ic). They still hold some Gaelic services, I think. Their Gael...

Re: Quakers and Anabaptists
Are you now near Burlington? Or upstate NY? In New York State, 40 miles southwest of Burlington VT, as the crow flies! I was born at Cheever, a bump in the road near Port Henry NY. Have you written your memoirs? Thanks, Temporal! My life has been sad and disappointing. I am not willing to reduce it ...

Re: Quakers and Anabaptists
Hello, Barnhart! I am too old and tired at 78 to attempt a Ph.D. thesis, even serialized on MennoNet. My current leading is to encourage an Anabaptist/Quaker fellowship in the Champlain Valley (NY/VT). Toward that end, I am also attempting to get a house of my own. If this all works out, perhaps you...

Re: Quakers and Anabaptists
Actually, I seem to have one leg in the Quaker world and the other in the Mennonite/Brethren world. I would not for even one minute claim that the Quaker take on Christian faith and witness is flawless. In fact, my impression is that it has gone downhill. Yet, as one "cradle" Conservative ...
