Quakers

Quakers (or Friends) are members of a group of religious Christian movements which is known as the Religious Society of Friends in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and parts of North America; and known as the Friends Church in Africa, Asia, South America and parts of the US. The movements were originally, and are still predominantly based on Christianity. Members of the movements profess the priesthood of all believers, a doctrine derived from the First Epistle of Peter. They include those with evangelical, holiness, liberal, and traditional Quaker understandings of Christianity. To differing extents, the different movements that make up the Religious Society of Friends/Friends Church avoid creeds and hierarchical structures. In 2007, there were approximately 359,000 adult Quakers.

Around 79% of Quakers worldwide belong to the 'evangelical' and 'programmed' branches of Quakerism – these Quakers worship in services with singing and a prepared message from the Bible, coordinated by a pastor. Around 11% of Friends practice waiting worship, or unprogrammed worship (more commonly known today as Meeting for Worship), where the order of service is not planned in advance, is predominantly silent, and may include unprepared vocal ministry from those present. Some meetings of both types have Recorded Ministers in their meetings—Friends recognised for their gift of vocal ministry.

    Fairy Paradise

    by: Cocorosie

    He draws near the periphery
    In disbelief on delivery
    Came child from the deep inferno
    Crusty head of dead volcano
    Heartless crow with brittle beak
    Wooden leg too schocked to speak
    Lilac dust of a woman's hair
    A wooden cross a paper prayer
    A stone where her body lay
    A stack of feathers a pile of hay
    A mushroom for an eye ball
    A mustache from the snow fall
    Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
    Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash
    Trance music makes the fairies dance
    From the caves of snail shells
    Echoes the mutter medieval spells
    Mystery flows her wicked river
    Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
    Bending 'round the clover fields
    Their sapling stems don't break but yield
    Her pain inflicts no arguments
    Must learn to sway and un-arrange
    As earth she makes her final passage
    After humans long have ravaged
    Vanished with all maps for motion
    Upward angels last devotion
    One by one escort us home
    To leave the elementals free to roam
    To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
    To beach comb the nuclear debris
    Our plastic toys and our metal trees
    On the perfect day you'll find the breeze
    Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
    Now cry the stars when upon the earth
    Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
    A lament be heard through all the cosmos
