Hello everyone!
From Joan Torbett-Schofield to Everyone:  08:03 PM
Hi! :-)
From Joanne Power to Everyone:  08:06 PM
hello all, got my camera off as I'm eating my tea! 
I'm casting zoom to my TV as thought Emma was joining me. I've only got sound on my phone, does anyone know how I can get the sound on my TV? 
From Henry Thompson to Everyone:  08:29 PM
I think I understood from part 1 something very fundamental about how early Friends experienced the possibility of the Reign of Heaven, that they would no longer need the law because they would in their life in the Light be naturally unable to do wrong.  This was the point at which Fox was accused of the heresy of Perfectionism, I believe.   So is the importance of discernment something that actually emerged a bit later, after the Nayler-Fox split and the end of the Commonwealth with the Restoration?
From Jen to Everyone:  08:38 PM
I'm going to duck out for a wee bit and then return for sharing later. Jxx

Was that Lottie Cheverton and her husband Mark , at Leith School of Art?

Your introduction via the pentecoste makes me wonder where Quakers sit on the christian theological timeline. Mainstream Christian churches have "gone through" the garden of Eden, the old testament before Christ, the coming, death and resurrection of Christ, and are awaiting a second coming.
Had Quakers, through the second coming of Christ via the Pentecoste and through continuing revellation moved beyond the second coming, or reverted to garden of Eden? Was there a conclusive theological position, and how does this compare with other groups? (I know fairly little about Christian theology)
=========
* Maimonides vs. Aquinas: 1st vs. 2nd generation christ
  being/controlling me vs. spirit available to me
* 1 Corinthians 14: 26--? as Paul's account of a Meeting for Worship
* FUM tries to discipline a (LGBT-welcoming) meeting, forcing the
  Congregationalist tendency to rise again...

[Westminster Confession of Faith]

1.2b I.7: "In this sense the function of ministry is the spiritual
           formation of Friends, not their instruction" -- so,  no place
           for teaching ministry?

Three kinds of ministry: prophetic/mystic, teaching, narrative [at
worst, daffodil ministry, at best, testimony to the grace of God as
shown in the life of ...].  Of these, in principle only the first is
truly "God's words, not mine".

1.2b III.5 - Excellent summary of MfWfB [should be required reading
for Clerks of Sufferings!]

1.2b IV.2 -- "Be patterns, be examples" [Connects with my thoughts in
MfW today about the tension between that call and the guidance wrt
alms-giving ().  And how to distinguish testifying from "virtue
signalling"?

1.2b V -- ref. Extinction Rebellion ?
