I am a minister, photographer, retreat leader, author and Quaker -- albeit one who's not always good at being a good Quaker. I am the author of "Awaken Your Senses," "Holy Silence: The Gift of Quaker Spirituality," "Mind the Light: Learning to See with Spiritual Eyes" and "Sacred Compass: The Path of Spiritual Discernment" (foreword by Richard Foster).
This blog is a compendium of writing, photography, seriousness and silliness -- depending on my mood.
Actually, early Friends did not pull their name out of the scripture passage you quoted. They called themselves Friends of Truth. Truth, treated as an absolute, the gospel as we have experienced it, is even more shocking than Jesus, who can be viewed in many ways. Imagine how revitalized the Society would be if we all had experienced and all were willing to proclaim, that Truth!
