Christmas is a day to remind us of Christ, and that YES many Quakers are Christian, and without conforming to an evangelical label. I am both liberal and Christian, and I am also a Friend. There are so many of us out there who understand where you are, what you are feeling. <BR/><BR/>You never have to fall into a category to appease others, and if you have others who question your Quaker Christianity, you might see that as an opportunity to speak with them about it. I don't think of those moments as witnessing, as evangelicals often do, but as speaking about the Truth and the Light as Quakers experience it, and I find many people are shocked just how individualized Quaker Christianity actually is. There's not a lot of group think. I suppose that is what may draw you to it, as you said that you find the sameness a drawback in discussions of equality. Anyhow, I am rambling a little, but I wanted to say you are not alone in your experiences. Merry Christmas, Ashley :)<BR/><BR/>Friend LaurieLaurie Chase Kruczekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517846044382639311noreply@blogger.com
