Thread Name: The end of religious freedom in the US
Subject: RE: The end of religious freedom in the US
One more thing... I was only joking about my feelings towards other traditions in our meeting house, and in fact, most of our committees are made up of orthodox and hicksite members. Also, I believe that Programmed worship is becoming the most common form of Quakerism, though it is very new to the Quaker tradition. Similer to the fast spread of other Evangelical faiths, I have heard that 80% of American Friends are members of Programmed meetings. I do wonder at this, as it seems to fly in the face of the most elimental concept in Quakerism, waiting in silence on the lord rather than listening to another human, but well... what can I say. Cheers Larry
