Educating the Pastor It is ironical how our Quaker worship group has members with varying spiritual beliefs yet we work together harmoniously. I will often quote something from my Step Training and the Clerk aka Pastor will reply, that's hardcore Quakerism. LOL! I had to crawl through Hades to learn some of those lessons. Our Clerk is the most religiously conservative but seems to have a case of TDS. When I first started dating the Republican and took him to our meeting. I was asked, "Is he a Trumpster?" Probably. When we talk politics, there are certain areas where I just "don't go there." He certainly got an earful today. Yesterday afternoon, we traveled through two counties to get to the Fall Gathering. My girlfriend was driving, I was the Spiritual Vanguard as our clerk put it. He rode in the back. G/F and I were talking about Israel and the unfairness of vilifying them because of the conflicts with Palestine. We talked about Omar and Talaib being banned from Israeli. Bravo. We talked about White Privilege versus the Race Card and Baltimore. LOL! I am sure that our religiously conservative clerk aka pastor was not aware of the conservative viewpoints of some of his more religiously liberal congregation members.  Abracadabra  |

People can have different feelings, beliefs and ideas and still work together. It is somewhat scary to see a growing movement in our society that does not allow for that diversity, although they say they believe in it. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

There can be a diversity of beliefs even within the same denominations but I learned to focus on the similarities and not the difference. Abracadabra
