Thanks for the list. I hope you'll add mine. I'm probably in the everday thoughts/experiences category, though I drift into "flaker quaker" status on occasion...

Susie Day said...

Linda - great! I added you to the list. You're in flakers for now so that you have a chance of being read (the others write so fast that you would get pushed off the list before anyone saw you.) Hope you find our listings useful.

Hello fFriend:

I have been having trouble finding the HTML code for thy site, to post the wee badge. Is it possible for thee to send me the code by email, and explain how to embed it in my Blogspot template ie what prefexes and such to place before and after it in the template... I expect just after the links, with a line spacing code? I'm a biut of a dinosaur

Susie Day said...

Lorcan, I have sent the requested information by email. Thanks for showing support for this listing!

Russ Nelson said...

What's wrong with http://Planet.Quaker.org ?

Jeff Day said...

Russell,

Good question. I wasn't aware of Planet.Quaker.org until just now. But, upon review, I see one MAJOR benefit of the Zebby system. I don't "steal" the visitors, I only show them headlines and then direct them to the respective blogs. This keeps the blog owners in control of what they present to their readers, to measure their traffic, etc. It also just keeps it easier to sift through quickly and read the topics one is interested in. I think the Internet is quite big enough for both services.

CJ Stone said...

Just thought you'd like to check out my blog. I'm not a Quaker, but i share some of your interests.

Linda said...

er, perhaps you realize this, but casual friends is repeated and occasional friends is deleted...

Laurie Chase Kruczek said...

Some Quaker blogging over at my place:

http://lifeforcevibrations.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

Laurie

Susie Day said...

Added, and added.. Tatiana, your blog is down right now, I'll check back in a while to see if it's up :-)

enjoy!

Susie Day said...

oh, and Linda, in order not to hurt anyone's feelings, we changed the names of the sections a little, maybe you looked at it while we were in the midst of changing them?

They seem to be correct now, but thank you!

Lorcan said...

Hi Susie:
I emailed this to thee, but it bounced back...
There is, in our meeting, one of the original Back Benchers. We are seeking three more surviving members of this body who in 1966 published the pamphlet, Quakerism: A View from the back benches ... it was a remarkable task and outcome, and it is a conversation which should be on going.

We posted the original pamphlet, http://backbencherfriends.blogspot.com/ with a link to your Quaker Blog links. We hope Friends will comment on the topics on that blog, in terms of looking back at elder wisdom from 1966. We are also organizing a new back bencher group in New York, which will have a separate blog, with an update appreciation of where we are and may be going as Quakers in this century, and will of course add thy links.

With thanks, thine in frith and fFriendship

Liz in the Mist said...

I heard about your site this weekend while at FGC and came to check it out! I would like to find out how to get my blog on the list, if able. lovinlifeliz.blogspot.com

Linda said...

I intended to post a comment asking you to add Liz's blog, http://lovinlifeliz.blogspot.com/
but she beat me to it.
I noticed that Paul L.'s blog (showers of blessings) is in both the frequent posters and the least frequent posters categories.
Thanks for providing this service. I always use your site when catching up on Quaker bloggers.

Susie said...

Thanks everyone! I've got both blogs added into the 'Blogging for Worship' section and I got rid of the extra listing of Paul's blog .. oops!

--Susie

Palace of Leaves said...

A humble request to be added . . .

I am writing about Quakerism and Mothering among other things.

http://palaceofleaves.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

John Kindley said...

Thanks for adding my blog. I'm having a little trouble with the tag, which I'd like to add to my site. When I copy the html that is provided, the link shows up on my blog but it doesn't look right. Any suggestions?

Linda said...

Here's a lovely new blog:
http://obedienttothelight.blogspot.com/
Thanks for keeping us all connected.

Hi Susie

I have begun a new Quaker Blog, not at the expense of my on going ones... I felt called to reply to much of Richard Dawkin's book on Atheism, with "A Friendly Response To Richard Dawkins". It is a blog devoted to looking at the problem with all orthodoxies, religious or political, through examining Dawkin's Atheism, as an example of orthodoxy in his attacks on the Amish and Quakers. It is not a - setting the record straight - blog, but rather, I hope, a conversation about orthodoxy from an Anglo Irish, Quaker setting.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know about my new blog, "The Ecstatic Quaker." I explore the relevance of early Quaker ecstatic experiences (quaking, trance, etc.)to our practice of Quakerism today. Hope you find it interesting.(http://theecstaticquaker.blogspot.com/)

Anonymous said...

This is a personal blog but I hope it sometimes has a Quaker perspective:

http://uk.blog.360.yahoo.com/kathleenzbell

I'm a Quaker from Britain Yearly Meeting and would certainly welcome comments from Quakers elsewhere. Quakerism gets mentioned incidentally from time to time so that regular readers will become aware I'm a Quaker although I've never thought of outreach as an aim of the blog.

Jeanne said...

Greetings,

I'd appreciate it if you would add my blog about Quakers & Social Class to your list. Not sure where it fits, though. Leave that up to you!

http://quakerclass.blogspot.com

Matthew Hisrich said...

Hello,

I just started a blog on applying Quaker principles to socially responsible investing. I'd greatly appreciate it if you would add it to your list.

Thanks!

Unknown said...

Just wanted to let you know about my blog - The Eagle's Nest at http://eaglesplace.blogspot.com. It is a blog of social commentary.

Blessings and bliss - and thank you for your energy.

Friends,

I would like to offer my two blogs:

The Empty Path focuses on faith and practice.

Walhydra's Porch is my cranky alter-ego's attempt to be Quakerly, even though people annoy her.

Blessed Be,
Michael

Susie Day said...

okay, everyone is added!

Thank you for sending me your links, keep it up. I may be slow, but I will add them eventually.

Michael - another Quaker-Pagan-xkcd fan! wonderful!

Lisa H said...

I also keep an occasional blog, with a Quaker focus:
rootedandgrounded.blogspot.com

Liz Opp said...

Hey Susie--

Thanks for this service... Not sure why it fell off my radar long ago but now it's back on. smile

I just launched a blog to focus on FGC news but in a more personal way. Not sure how busy it will be:

FGC Buzz

Thanks again for your service.

The Peace Resources Committee of Illinois Yearly Meeting has created a blog & would love a listing (and participation from those who are interested in joining the conversation!).

Thanks!

Liberata said...

You used to list my blog Pax et Lux. I recently closed it and exported the contents to a new one, Liberata's Blog:
http://www.liberatasblog.blogspot.com/

I still post occasionally about Quaker faith and practice.
Thanks!

Hystery said...

Thank you for your work here. Perhaps you will consider including my blog, Plainly Pagan from a Quaker Pagan perspective. Most, but not all, my entries are directly related to Quaker history or contemporary issues and practice.

Susie Day said...

Okay, blogs are added. I think I may have accidentally removed a comment before I read it while trying to delete a spam post. If I removed your comment, sorry!! post again and I will add your blog.

parise said...

Hi -- New blog, started this week: http://www.postmodernquaker.wordpress.com

It's too soon to say how often it will be updated, but right now it's every other day or so.

Bush Quaker said...

I just started a new blog at www.bushquaker.blogspot.com
It addresses the news and everyday issues from a Quaker perspective without always being overtly Quaker.It will include more general Quaker themes in the future. Hope you can add it to the list.

Thanks

J.A. Seeker said...

Hi,

I'm a Quaker (or at least a regular attender,a member soon I think) with a Zen Buddhist practice (I sit in silence a lot) and a blog: http://awakeningtothelight.blogspot.com/

I tend to use this blog as a place where I explore who I am and explore my feelings, perceptions, impulses and consciousness (thoughts) about what God is.

I write about obsevations, insights and questions that arise about: God; prayer; meditation; Quakerism; religious community, Zazen; Zen Buddhism and other Buddhist practices and traditions; Contemplative Christianity; Christian Mysticism as well as all the other things that come up in a life.

Would you consider adding me to your list?

Thanks!

JAS

Hi, just discovered your site with so many good blogs.

I hope you'll list my blog, Ecological Gardening at

It's not about Quakerism--it's an expression of living and gardening as a Quaker.

I have just started my blog, and am Quaker.

"Mission: A blog that captures the life and tales of a Psychedelic Quaker.

A visionary artist who's mission in life is to promote spiritual growth through creativity, love, inner reflection and the transcendence of our own ego."

Daniel Francis said...

I'd like to propose two blogs.
There is QueerQuaker: http://queerquaker.blogspot.com/
which is a website by A.J. Mendoza, a convinced friend from Northwest Yearly Meeting. He writes on Quakerism.

There is also franiel32.wordpress.com, which is my own blog (or one of them) This is more a "Casual Blogging by Friends" type of site.
