After experiencing the loss of her father, Silena Yancey travels from North Carolina to the American Southwest to find inspiration, which she hopes leads to equilibrium. Vicki shares, "My story 'Sabbatical' is largely a collage... In many ways, we're all on a sort of pilgrimage." This narrative invites listeners into the internal pilgrimage of its protagonist, providing a window into the process of self-discovery and reflection. Vicki Winslow is a writer who currently serves as clerk of the Friends Meeting in Liberty, North Carolina. Her publications include Follow the Leader for middle readers, a novella called The Conversion of Jefferson Scotten, and short stories in both literary and online journals including the story The Last Bear in Deep South Magazine.

In this episode of Quakers Today we ask, How do you process memories, experiences and feelings? For the best listening experience we encourage you to listen to this episode with headphones or earbuds.   Rashid Darden's Personal Reflections The episode features Rashid Darden and his reflection of identity and faith. As a Black person in a predominantly white faith community, Rashid's experience is unique and enlightening. He shares, "The surprising thing about my journey in the Quaker faith is that I'm still able to show up as my entire self and not be penalized for it... and in fact, to be celebrated for it."  Rashid Darden is an award-winning, best-selling novelist of urban LGBT experiences, a seasoned leader of Black fraternal movements and nonprofit organizations, and a professional educator in alternative schools. He lives in Conway, North Carolina. Rashid serves as the Associate Secretary for Communications and Outreach for Friends General Conference.  Hear more of Rashid's reflections in the QuakerSpeak video, Growing the Community of Friends, Embracing Diversity, and Quakerism. It is also available at the QuakerSpeak YouTube Channel. Many thanks to Christopher Cuthrell for providing this audio.  Influences on Virginia Woolf Peterson Toscano draws a parallel between the Quaker faith and the literary world, focusing on Virginia Woolf, a renowned early 20th-century author. Some scholars suggest that Woolf's feminist stance and innovative writing techniques were significantly influenced by her Quaker aunt, Caroline Stephen. She is the author of the classic religious text, Quaker Strongholds. This connection highlights how Quaker practices of self-reflection and inner exploration may have impacted Woolf's iconic stream of consciousness writing style, particularly evident in characters like Mrs. Dalloway. Dig Deeper into Caroline Stephen and Virginia Woolf A Quaker Influence on Moder English Literature: Virginia Woolf and her Quaker Aunt Caroline Stephen by Alison M Lewis The Search for God: Virginia Woolf and Caroline Emelia Stephen by Kathleen A. Heininge, George Fox University Virginia Woolf's Vision of Utopia by Diane Reynolds Quakers and Fiction: Vicki Winslow's “Sabbatical” The episode also brings us the story "Sabbatical" by Vicki Winslow. After experiencing the loss of her father, Silena Yancey travels from North Carolina to the American Southwest to find inspiration, which she hopes leads to equilibrium. Vicki shares, "My story 'Sabbatical' is largely a collage... In many ways, we're all on a sort of pilgrimage."

In our podcast feed, you will also find a bonus recording to Vicki's story.  Satire in Quaker Context Adding a different flavor to the episode, Peterson discusses Donn Weinholtz's book, Jesus Christ, M.B.A.: A Gospel for Our Times. The story is illustrated by David Weinholtz. Carl Blumenthal reviewed the short book for Friends Journal. He writes, Conventional wisdom says that if Jesus returned today, he would be branded a heretic, a lunatic, or a criminal. Yet Donn Weinholtz's satire on the Second Coming imagines him as a rabble-rouser, who, instead of rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar's, plunges into the political fray as an independent candidate for the U.S. presidency.

We participate in an endless cycle of diets where we try to control rather than honor our inner desires and appetites. We try to sculpt our female bodies so they are more linear and angular, less round and curvaceous. Ironically, we do this in our friendships as well. We hyper-focus on likes, comments, and DMS rather than hour-long cafe conversations with a new friend. Friends are truly the medicine of life and if we don't abuse the prescription we won't rely on anyone for validation or happiness outside of ourselves. Make a conscious effort to be a good friend and attract good friends. You deserve to be uplifted and challenged in the best ways possible.

Catharus sings new songs reflecting religious traditions written by Kenan Serenbetz. Kenan is steeped in shaped-note and medieval singing. It has an old sound, but actually references more contemporary influences. The next performance of Catharus will be at the Twin Cities Friends Meeting on March 4. When Kenan talked to Phil Nusbaum, Kenan first addressed where the name Catharus comes from.

PAUL GARBER/WFDD There are three Union Cross communities in the Triad area, one each in Forsyth, Yadkin and Surry counties. Listener Robert Myers of Kernersville had a question for Carolina Curious about the origins of the one in southeastern Forsyth County:  I have lived near Union Cross for many years, and I always wondered, where did the community get its name? I've asked many people in the community, but no one seems to know the answer. The North Carolina Gazetteer — an index of the state's geographic features — has a history for the name of only one of those three communities. Yadkin County's Union Cross was apparently named for a Quaker Friends Meeting back in the 1880s. So could Forsyth's name also come from a Friends Meeting place? Not likely, according to Quaker history authorities. The Friends didn't start using the term Union Cross until the time the Yadkin community was named, decades after Forsyth's community was founded.  Michelle DeLapp is chairwoman of the board for the Wachovia Historical Society. Using Moravian archives, she found references to Union Cross in records dating to the early 1860s, well before the Quakers used the term. The timing would also seem to rule out any connection to the Union Army in the Civil War. Forsyth County's Union Cross appears to date back to the days of a plank road in the mid-1800s that ran from Fayetteville, through High Point, and up to the Moravian community of Bethania. DeLapp says the name may simply be a reference to an important convergence of roads during the middle of the 19th Century.   “I believe it had something to do with the location of the road,” she says. “It was an intersection between High Point Road and what is known as Union Cross Road now — it was kind of an intersection.  And it was kind of a main road.”  Today, Union Cross is the site of an elementary school and a county park. Union Cross wasn't the only prominent use of the term “Union” in Forsyth County. The Union Republican newspaper used it during its run from the 1870s to the 1940s, and Winston-Salem's train stop was called Union Station when it was built almost 100 years ago.

This episode offers a description and some background on where I’ve come from and where I find myself now- a Friend called to Quaker ministry, who has said Yes the Calling these 10 plus years and actually for a lifetime of who I have always been. I hope to use this podcast venue as a new art from, that to be a way of sharing emerging ministry and messages, so that I can have a way to tell You, my beloved community, what messages I hold that I feel are for more than just myself. It may be that the messages are kin to a modern version of writings that Friends historically offered in their letters to one another and their published Journals. For me it thus far is a compilation of photography, journaling, poems, letters to f/Friends, connections to other Quaker artist work and their images impact on my journey, and messages that have come to me share either in a meeting for worship at a Friends Meeting, or prepared in me when compelled to write a message - and that I’m looking for a way and chance to offer to F/friends. If this mode is one method of being faithful and in the following the leadings, I hope it will be a chance to walk with you and with my Guide- Christ Jesus, God/goddess, Spirit and my Fellow Friend Travelers within the perhaps too thick “hedge” of the society of Friends and the much in need of healing and Witness wider world. Let me know what you think, but most of all; hold me in the Light as I follow this Bliss?

anarchy .......(8).. jesus Remastered Nov. 2021 by A. Campbell Payne! Spoke with Jane, a transwoman and member of the Newberg Friends Church about the current split happening in the Northwest Yearly Meeting, double standards in Faith & Practice, trans erasure, othering, trauma caused by intolerance, the tyranny of pacifism, the religious punishment kink, the corruptive power of money in the church, Quaker capitalism, Quaker Oats & Cadbury chocolates, how neither Jesus or George Fox were passive, quiet or calm, and the differences between a Friends Meeting and a Friends Church. Notes: I was contacted by a member of the West Hills Friends Meeting, which is one of the meetings being forced out by the NWYM, and here is a statement from her: " Hi. I'm a member at West Hills Friends, one of the meeting being removed by Northwest Yearly Meeting's decisions. I am so grateful for you and Jane for having this conversation. I only got to listen to the first half this morning and am looking forward to the rest of it this afternoon. I would like to point out that Jane missed a few important details or got some things mixed up - and it's all super complicated so I don't even know everything. But I do know that West Hills Friends created two minutes in 2008, one on authority and one on human sexuality, that the NYWM refused to engage with for a number of years. Here is a document created by a committee at West Hills Friends (and approved by the business meeting) that tells the story as far as we understand it. This document was created in an effort to remain transparent in the face of NWYMs lack of commitment to transparency. This story continues to unfold.... groups leaving NWYM have recently formed the Sierra-Cascades Yearly Meeting of Friends and are looking at how to move forward in building a christ centered, inclusive, Quaker community in the pacific northwest. Thanks for hosting this conversation!

In our 193rd episode (Friends Meeting) we review a particularly difficult Spanish grammar topic: the probability future tense, by means of our dear friend´s meeting where they are going to use this special future tense in their dialogue. En nuestro episodio nº 193: Reunión de amigas, nuestras queridas protagonistas de muchos episodios, Pilar, Alejandra, Coral y Luisa están esperando a Montse, que viene en tren desde Barcelona para estar juntos de nuevo un fin de semana. Quieren estar las cinco solitas, sin las respectivas parejas, para charlar, ponerse al día y rememorar viejos tiempo. A petición de un buen amigo de Spanishpodcast, en este episodio vamos a trabajar un aspecto de la Lengua Española que no siempre es fácil de comprender: el futuro de probabilidad, para lo cual hemos confeccionado la explicación más clara y accesible, y hemos seleccionado los ejemplos más didácticos para que podáis comprenderlo y usarlo sin dificultad, en adelante.

On October 13th, Friends Meeting of Washington hosted an event for Quakers and the general public to learn more about a new joint working paper recently published by the American Friends Service Commitee and Friends Committee on National Legislation, titled "Shared Security: Reimagining US foreign policy."

Listen to this short audio story to hear more about the document, as well as how audience members responded to the presentation and discussion on how Quakers and their allies can work together to create a world that prioritizes human rights and the peaceful resolution to conflict.

While traditional Quaker worship, based on silence, has no scheduled singing as part of worship, Quakers are among the singing-est and dancing-est of folks around. Don Pardee did a simple recording of 6 folks from Milwaukee Friends Meeting singing a sampling of songs they share Sunday mornings before worship. Jim Schacht, Don Pardee, & Andrea Jehly share about the music they made, along with Sally Durgerian, Kay Augustine, and Jennifer Dahlquist.

Anna Sandidge is the coordinator for the Friends Peace Teams after having served with two different projects in Burundi and Rwanda as part of the African Great Lakes Initiative. Anna was raised in the Assembles of God church, but had her first serious break with the church at the age of 12. At 15 she sought out Quakers, finding herself "home" from the start at Friends Meeting. She was a professional organizer in her 20's, but found a leading to more securely connect her employment work with her spiritual work and found that with the Friends Peace Teams.
