Whatever impulse or Nudge it was that spurred you to introduce yourself to me at the FGC Gathering a good number of years ago, I'm glad you did.

I think I would prefer that someone experience and follow the Holy Spirit and call it by a different name, than to expound Christ and not have that inward experience (those aren't the only two possibilities, just expressing my order of preference)."RantWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611656459134372290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355594093712358164.post-54520191445107511922010-06-23T17:44:45.897-05:002010-06-23T17:44:45.897-05:00Ashley, Thanks very much for posting the link to y...Ashley, Thanks very much for posting the link to your journey as well. It was really interesting! When you mentioned the altar call it reminded me of going to a family funeral where the minister actually did an altar call. I think it is wonderful that you didn't have to go as long as I did before finding Friends, and I'm similarly glad we get to share School of the Spirit together.<br><br>Birg, Thanks very much for reading and sharing!<br><br>With love,<br> MarkMark Wutkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01735952904584567390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355594093712358164.post-22945820669484306322010-06-23T09:27:17.767-05:002010-06-23T09:27:17.767-05:00I am so glad you posted this, Mark! It was wonder...I am so glad you posted this, Mark! It was wonderful to read it and learn more about your spiritual journey. I found that there were some surprising similarities with my own spiritual journey, which I <a href="http://questforadequacy.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-i-became-quaker.html" rel="nofollow">posted on my blog a few years ago</a> (though now I feel like I should do an epilogue too). In particular, the pentecostal background struck me as similar. Although the church I grew up in was nominally "nondenominational," it had a lot of pentecostal tendencies. And I also brought all of my general geekiness to Quakerism. I am so glad that we are in the School of the Spirit together and I look forward to getting to know you better over the upcoming residencies.<br><br><br>With love,<br><br>AshleyAshley Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767912859236943934noreply@blogger.com
