By all means not an expert, but progressive Christian’s saying they won’t get “political” when discussing Christianity or on their religious blog is a little strange and misguided. Homie the Bible IS POLITICAL and radically at that. Feeding the hungry, sheltering the poor, anti-violence, and anti-war is political. Taking care of our planet, Uplifting your community, and loving your neighbor is political. Politics isn’t just discourse on policy, politics stretches and defines every part of our life. By finding the good in humanity you participate in politics, and that’s a good thing I promise.
could i please have some prayers said for me, if it’s not too much? i’m joining my first ever catholic church this sunday for all soul’s day and i’m very nervous, since i’ve only been to low stakes, very chill quaker churches before.
Some of the descriptions of Christ found in early Quaker writings:
The Light. The Teacher. The Guide. The Lord. The Way. The Truth. The Life. The Seed. The Captain of Your Salvation. The Son. A Husband unto You. The Rock Most Sure. The Word. The Voice You Must Hear. The King. The Judge. The Lawgiver. King of Kings. Lord of Lords. Lord of Joy. Lord of Peace. Thy Teacher by His Spirit. The Wisdom of God. The Mediator. The Everlasting Covenant. The Everlasting Priest. A Hammer. A Sword. A Fire. Your Rest. The Head. The Pure, Living Spring. The Water which Washes. The Bread of Life. The Witness in Heaven. The Ingrafted Word. Your Crown and Life. Him from Whom All Your Help and Strength Comes. The Door. The Second Adam. The Preserver. The Sanctuary. Your Savior. The Pearl. The First and the Last. The Word with You in All Places. The Anointing in You to Teach You. The Bright and Morning Star.
the story of jesus turning some fish and a few loaves of bread into enough to feed a crowd is a lesson that when we think we do not have enough resources to go around, we do if only we would look at the world in another way
Shoutout to Quakerism for being autistic as fuck.
I go, we sit in silence for an hour while half of us do some sort of fiber art to keep our hands busy, we end the meeting and start talking about helping our community, and then someone usually starts talking about a special interest while the rest of us hype them up.
welcome! my name is holly and this is my religion blog! i'm quaker, and exploring beyond that. i'm 24 and use it, she, or xe pronouns.
i'm queer-affirming, i believe God loves queer love and identity, i am anti racism and against antisemitism and islamophobia. i am also prochoice. if you disagree with me on these stances i ask you to respectfully just block me instead of being mean! thank you
i would love to make mutuals of any religion, as long as you vibe with the things i have said above.
i love learning and hearing about others' beliefs and practices. religion is one of my favorite topics. my religious path has been really long; raised pagan, practiced polytheism until wanting to convert to judaism at 15, then reverting to islam at 18, then finding myself here at 24. im open, and i love hearing what people have to say!
i am disabled and mentally ill. i will talk about these sometimes
