re: #214 wheat-dogg

Which branch? Does her meeting have a pastor? The Friends divided along doctrinal lines back in the 1800s. The Hicksite Friends, who today are largely fairly liberal, retained the worship mode of the original Friends — no pastors and mostly silent worship. That’s the branch I once belonged to. Following the Great Awakening, the Quakers in the western states and territories adopted pastoral worship and programmed worship services. Pretty generic Protestant worship, IOW. Friends in the programmed tradition tend to be more conservative socially and politically. Nixon came out of that tradition, IIRC.

I don’t know anything about her meetings, or if she even attends them.

According to the FGC Conference Website, there are no meetings within two hundred miles of here. I have no idea who the FGC aligns with.
