Quakers speaking—from New England

Everyone has a story to tell, and in this podcast I sit down with a group of guests to learn about their childhoods, their marriages and children, the highs and low of their lives, and the stories that left them laughing or crying. And in so doing, show us a little bit of what it means to be human.Each season centers on a group of guests tied together with a common thread. Season 1 focuses on 5 Quakers or ex-Quakers from the Las Cruces Friends Meeting, and I also ask them why they became Quakers, and if they left Quakerism, why. In Season 2 I interview immigrants from around the world who all came to the New World to find a better life. I ask why they left, what immigration and integration was like for them, and what it means to be an immigrant.  more

This is a podcast of Ohio Yearly Meeting. We are a collection of Conservative Quaker Meetings based primarily in Ohio. By conservative, we do not mean politically conservative. Conservative Friends are known for their commitment to conserve the Original message of the first generation of Quakers. These Quakers, in turn, saw their movement as a revival of primitive Christianity. We hope the installments of our podcasts will present the understandings of Conservative Quakerism. So, if thee is interested in learning the differences between Conservative Quakers and other Quakers, or would like to understand differences between Quakers and other Christians, thee may well be at the right place. On the other hand, the Conservative Quaker perspective is so strikingly unique in contemporary society, that it will be a balm to many seeking spiritual fulfillment. To assist these seekers is the true intent of publishing our podcast. A good many of the podcast installments will be presented by Henry Jason. Henry is knowledgeable in the Greek of the New Testament and has a fascinating way of tying the meaning of the original words with the writings of early Friends. Listening to him provides a refreshing view of scripture and is an excellent way to learn about original Quaker theology. Henry's podcasts are usually bible classes and so they are often interspersed with discussions, questions and insightful comments by his students. The music in our podcasts is from Paulette Meier's CDs: Timeless Quaker Wisdom in Plainsong and Wellsprings of Life available at paulettemeier.com.

John Woolman, born in 1720 in Northampton, New Jersey, was a devoted member of the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers. His influential Journal, published posthumously in 1774, offers a glimpse into his life and the profound spirit behind his work. Despite his humility, Woolmans significant role in the Quaker movement against slavery shines through. It all began in 1742 when, as a young clerk, he was asked to draft a bill of sale for a enslaved woman. This pivotal moment ignited a lifelong commitment to advocating against the slave trade. Woolman embarked on arduous journeys, passionately convincing his fellow Quakers to join the cause, ultimately leading to a consensus within the Yearly Meetings that emancipation was a religious obligation. By the time of his death, slavery had largely been abolished within the Society of Friends. The heartfelt simplicity and charm of Woolmans own words in this Journal truly capture his essence.

Rufus Matthew Jones (January 25, 1863 June 16, 1948) was a distinguished American religious leader, writer, and philosopher whose influence resonates deeply within the Quaker community. As a key figure in founding the Haverford Emergency Unit—an early prototype of the American Friends Service Committee—Jones made significant contributions as a historian and theologian. His insights into conscience and authority, originally presented in a thought-provoking Swarthmore Lecture in August 1920, delve into the complexities of human morality and spiritual guidance. This work, later published by Swarthmore Press Ltd., invites readers to reflect on the nature of conscience in a changing world. Join us as we explore the profound legacy of one of the 20th centurys most impactful Quakers. (Summary by Wikipedia & John Greenman) This show includes AI-generated content. more
