Quaker Blog Watch by email
View Comments (7 on old commenting system)
It started when I began bookmarking the more interesting Quaker posts I ran across over the course of the day. That turned into the sidebar on the Quaker Ranter homepage, which then turned into the Quaker Blog Watch page. Now, as an experiment, I'm making it available as a daily email:

I do recognize that this site has mutliple fan bases. While I was on paternity leave a colleague emailed me to ask when I would post more pictures of Baby Francis. I looked and saw that it had only been ten hours since I had uploaded the last picture to my Flickr account. Aaayyee!, the danger of increasing expectations! Well, you can now get a daily email containing any new pictures of Baby Francis or Big Kid Theo: go to either of their homepages for the sign-up form (they share one subscription). One small step in self-indulgent parenthood, ain't technology great?

Hey, I signed up, but I'm still not getting it. Is it working for other people?

I signed up received it. It came into Yahoo mail at first as Spam and I had to redirect it, but I have had 2 alerts in the past week or so and discovered several Friend's blogs which I did not know existed from other searches. If your e-mail provider has a spam blocker, it may be blocking it.
P.S. Including your blog, Robin!
Hey Robin,
Are you sure you signed up. I don't see an obvious email in the subscribers list, though one is anonymous and could be you, I suppose....

Well, I've gotten it twice in the last week so I know I'm signed up, but I'm not getting it daily.
It doesn't appear to be in the spam filter. I don't know what's wrong.
Hi Martin, just wanted to let you know I just launched a blog, in case you'd like to add it to the mix...
Hi Martin,
Just read your your articleOn “We're All Ranters Now: On Liberal Friends and Becoming a Society of Finders”.
I am becoming more sacramental and incarnational rather than verbal/mental.
The corporate worship of Friends I believe transforms us from a crowd of people into a family of faith; from separate individuals into sisters and brothers, from a wandering mass of people into the People of God.
I love these words from the Roman Mass,
In this great sacrament you feed your people and strengthen them in holiness,
so that the human family may come to walk in the light of one faith,
in one communion of love. We come then to this wonderful sacrament to be fed at your table and grow into the likeness of the risen Christ.
The greatest mystery of the Christian faith/Quakerism is that God comes to us which is a more sacramental approach to faith then the individualism of Protestantism.
God not me is transforming, White Quakers, Christians Quakers,Universalist Quakers,Quakers of Color,into the presence of God's child the Eternal Spirit of the living Christ .
This sacramental approach to faith, which has its roots in my Swedish Lutheran heritage has help me to value diversity among Friends.
Because it is God not me who is at work in the diversity .................
Yes, God calls us sometimes to participate in the work of transformation of God's people
but at the end of day we need to remember this is God's work not are work....
Blessing,
Paul
